Personally I prefer the flat file configuration, as it's much more
intuitive, and an obfuscated method of configuring my kernel just isn't
for me. To each his own of course, but I myself will always stick to
vi'ing my kernel's config. It's the fastest, most efficient way IMHO.
(Not to say, that's better, since lots of people prefer what I'd call, a
more lazy method) I never liked the Linux kernel "way", but that's just
me. Good on you for trying to give something back to the fbsd community
though - not trying to bring it down, just shedding light on my personal
convictions when it comes to configuring a kernel.

I have started development on a kernel configuration tool for FreeBSD
5.2.1 (other versions aren't supported yet)
It's similar to the linux kernel's make config and xf86config in terms of
way of working, and it's written in ISO C++ (requires g++ compiler)
Get the source:
(DENMARK)
http://www.davidhanefelt.dk/files/upload/kernconf01.tar.bz2
(SCOTLAND)
http://www.kentra.net/kernconf01.tar.bz2
Extract to a directory, and build with:
g++ main.cpp printinfo.cpp getfilename.cpp printmsg.cpp writecpu.cpp
operations.cpp scsi.cpp pcinic.cpp isanic.cpp wifi.cpp usbnet.cpp
Run the output with ./a.out as usual :)
Here's what i'd like to see (but can't figure out myself)
GCC Makefile (would really rock)
Here's what i intend to add to 0.2:
Support for moving the file into /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/[fname] and
instantiate the config, build and install process.
The program is released under the BSD license.
Happy hacking.
David
