  Well, what I was actually meaning was a kernel configuration utility,
not an overall system configuration utility.  My general plan is to have
spec file of some sort that describes all the different options that can
be in the config file and how they relate to each other.  Thus, when a new
option is added to the kernel, you just have to add a couple of lines to
the spec file and voila.
