It doesn't cost extra $ to keep 6 letters - and makes it alot more clear
about what it does.

I understand the point about having really _long_ names, and personally
think things like "ThisVariableIsATemporaryCounter" are brain dead, but
I don't think we have hit that yet with CONFIG_ yet.

We already have lots (419) that are over 30 chars, and some over 40!

40 CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_BLINK_STATUS_ON_DATA_IN
41 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
41 CONFIG_SYS_MPC8220_SYSPLL_VCO_MULTIPLIER
42 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SUBSYS_DEVICEID_NONMONARCH
