That's an excellent idea. I am still thinking along the lines of "idiot proof simplicity." It would be nice to have a configure script that scanned your system board, sound card/chip various input ports, etc, and went ahead and preselected those to build when you type "make. If you could combine this with the make "allmodconfig" command in a user friendly interface, I think you'd really be on to something! --as long as it's still configurable after the preselected choices are made.
