An excellent point. Perhaps a config option?

Perhaps a new module for linuxconf. A user might be able to use said new
module in the place of the make menuconfig ( or xconfig, etc ). Also - the
possibility to do remote recompiles would then exist ( via linuxconf's remote
usages.)
Now that might or might not be a good thing :)
( I'll cross post to linuxconf list to get that rolling )
