Hi folks,

Is there a way to specify option name translation in config(8)s option
files?  For example, I'd like this in my kernel config:

options 	IPFILTER_STATE_MAX	300007

but I want

#defined	STATE_MAX	(300007)

to end up in opt_ipfilter.h assuming I have something like

IPFILTER_STATE_MAX	opt_ipfilter.h

in src/sys/conf/options.

I could just call the kernel option STATE_MAX, but the kernel config
file configures the entire kernel, and STATE_MAX doesn't make it clear
which subsystem of the kernel will be affected.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
