I found to my own dismay that compiling all kernels in sight is
overdoing it, once when I had 200 script generated kernel config
files in my tree :-)

Yes, a step between world and universe is clearly called for,
but I am not to determine if it is "make solar-system" or 
"make galaxy" nor what it could contain.

Let him who writes the Makefile magic decide that.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
