I was just thinking that there would be pollution in the env - growing it 
unnecessarily for those who didn't want it.

However - when I look at the number of CONFIG_ options in ./include/config - 
is seemed to be alot - more than necessary...

1787  CONFIG_options, which only appear in one file.
 534  CONFIG_options, which only appear in two files
 368   3
 259   4
 161   5
 157   6
  95   7
  92   8
  54   9
  42  10

seems to be a little crazy...
