then where exactly are boards supposed to specify their own custom build 
settings ?  like optimizations that they want to enable on specific 
files/subdirs ?  many Blackfin boards prefer speed over size in the 
compression code because we arent hurting for space, and most people prefer 
the faster decompression at runtime.  without a board config.mk, that isnt 
possible.
