  point taken.  back at the "badrefs" page:

http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Badref_CONFIG_variables

i've cleaned up the "arch" categories by removing all matches to
defconfig files, which cuts down the output considerably.

  the "drivers" section will be cleaned similarly shortly.

rday

p.s.  i did notice another false positive when the only references to
a "config" directive is nothing but other "select" directives.  i'll
fix that one of these days.  but it's never going to be perfect.  law
of diminishing returns and all that.
