   Still a valid procedure: 
   rm -rf "compiledir"/KERNELNAME; config KERNELNAME; cd "compiledir"/KERNELNAME
   make depend; make
   "config" may be called different now, heard of config.new recently.

config.new is not used in any of the *released* ports.  The sun3 and
sparc ports both use it though.  It is Chris Torek's rewrite of the
config program which is much more machine-independent than the
original one.  It also simplifies the auto-configuration process and
code.  Eventually we may convert all of our ports to use it, but
haven't as of yet.

A mistake was made though when it was integrated into the NetBSD tree
that may have resulted in it being installed as 'config' for users of
NetBSD Current.  This has since been corrected, so make sure you've
supped the fix.  The symptom of this problem is a config which
complains loudly about working config files, as the syntax has changed
somewhat in the new config.

later,
Adam Glass
