Hmm, missed it also.  In general I'm in favor of this but would prefer to
see these also defined under a single knob (MINIMAL?).  I agree with
Warner though that this may be harder than it looks in the long run, since
I just thought of various combinations.  Before we get too many NO_*,
perhaps people who are actually building commercial and personal small
distributions could share some of their needs and experiences.
