And much of it is in a bad make oldconfig that I can't date, but all of the 
multimedia stuff has been stripped and I can no longer use my pcHDTV3000 
card as just one for instance.  I just tested it, using an oldconfig that 
contained several hundred bits and pieces under the ATSC & DVB headers,  
after the oldconfig was done, all that was stripped from the new one, every 
trace of it.  That was working code guys, what the hell?  Kconfig could 
have problems, but the oldconfig output being stripped is a much larger 
one.  First problems first.  Then you can really see how fubared kconfig 
is.
