Oh come on, NO_F00F_HACK? This is damned insubstantial. NO_LKM and NO_SWAPPING
would be okay, but in the long term if NO_LKM messes (not to say it does)
KLD's up, it shouldn't be removed. Hmm... if NO_LKM doesn't stop KLD's from
working at all, should LKM support be in the kernel at all anymore? And
seriously, if 70/80 kb (less compressed, of course) matters, it might be worth
it to import pdksh and compile it in sh (not ksh) mode... of course licensing
being not an issue ;)
