Um, OK, then what is the default going to be?  Or are you
going to require everyone who uses ANY distro to edit a
list of Config.mk parameters before the build does anything
useful?  Seems to me if we group them as Bruce suggests and
only require a single edit (or even do it automagically based
on presence/contents of certain files), the vast majority
of Xen developers will be better off.
