This is due to a change made to support the new/old kernel config
option ``INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE'', which compiles the kernel
configuration description into the kernel itself.  To read the
config file back out of a kernel so compiled again, you simply do:

	strings /kernel | grep ___ | sed -e 's/___//'

This feature used to be in FreeBSD 1.x and got lost somewhere along
the way.  Thanks to Bill Pechter for resurrecting it!
