Oh well. Not pretty, but I hope people still get the idea.

And I just actually tried doing a build after touching the .config
file, and it did seem to work.

But since I had _also_ messed with the config file on purpose earlier,
I'm not sure I'm actually testing the thing the networking builds
trigger. So I might be entirely missing something.

Adding Masahiro to the cc, so that somebody competent can actually
check my thinking.

Masahiro, see the complaint (and my reply) in
