make menuconfig was/is a GREAT improvment, but I think there is
definitly room for some sort of improvement over that, even.

Modules also help, however, the current situation with modules and
dependencies is sticky...

I'd like to see a program, someday, that could generate a kernel
config for any given user, based on their current system. Then the
user could feel free to change things one at a time. Or a program that
could read the W95 registry and create a kernel config for the various
supported devices detected in that registry (this could greatly ease
converting new users)

Ah well, pipe dreams.
