The minor numbers are checked.

The idea is that if the kernel says you need X.Y to build it, then the
config binary must be version X.Z, where Z >= Y.  That's what my patch

Upon sober reflection, to answer Ruslan's issue, I think that the
100's thing might be a bad idea after all.  I'll update my patch.
