  make xconfig is the second coolest thing since sliced bread (NetPipes is
the first).

  It gives you a Tk interface to setting all the configuration options in
the kernel.  No more

 "make config"
 yynynnynnynnynnyyyy
 oops!  ^C
 "make config"
 yynynnynnynnynnyyynynnnynyyy
 oops!  ^C
 (lather, rinse, repeat)

  You just click on things and watch the newly enabled/disabled options
appear/disappear and click on them as appropriate.  Now if I could only
remember how to set my .Xres so the clicked buttons were a different color
than the non-clicked buttons.
