This is wrong, the warnings are just the same as before.

'config kernelname'  (eg: config vmunix) has been tweaked to translate it
into a makeoptions KERNEL=kernelname.

Corretion.. ROOTDEVNAME..  Also, should be possible to tweak a translation
in for this too so that 'root on foo' gets translated into:
  options ROOTDEVNAME=\"foo\"
I haven't done it because I could think of a zillion better things to do
than fight with lex/yacc. :-]  (like fix the Alpha build)
