[Bcc to -small as someone there might have had similar problems]

Hi,
I was trying to modify the picobsd build scripts so that the source
tree is entirely readonly. For the most part of it i think
i managed, the only missing part seems to be compilation of
new kernels.

config supports the "-d" command to set the destination directory,
but it appears that it insists on the config file being in
${SYS}/${ARCH}/conf/ as it derives other paths from the
current directory, such as

	...
	if (realpath("../..", srcdir) == NULL)
	...
	(void) snprintf(fname, sizeof(fname), "../../conf/options");

and maybe more places like this.
Am I wrong ? And if not, is there any plan to make config
handle config files in other places than  ${SYS}/${ARCH}/conf ?

	cheers
	luigi
