Skipping in an optimised case doesn't buy us much. I normally want to
build 'sandbox' at least before I go ahead and build everything.

I suppose what I'm asking is whether there is a fast way for buildman
to detect all these fields without having to run 'make xxx_defconfig'
on every board. For example, a simple read and scan of a few config
files, or worse case a C preprocessor run?
