Seriously though I maintain a bunch of AVR32 minimal configs.  I keep
them as a smallest-working-config baseline to build on; I'm sure others
would get value from having easy access to that kind of thing.

IMO It'd be nice to wire them to an automagic bloat-o-meter as well, but
I suspect no-one would really take notice anyway.
