Re: config -> default

[Greg Watson]

Stefan,

Which builds are broken? I thought I checked all configurations built 
after the change (apart from the VIA which Ron was working on.) and 
modified any that had problems.

My hope was that this change would make the use of options more 
logical and consistent. The intention is that parts set default 
values for any options that they require or are specific to the part. 
Then when all the parts are put together in a target configuration 
file, these default values can be overridden for the specific build. 
I was also toying with the idea of allowing some options to be 
read-only, which I think would address your concern.

Apologies for breaking things. I try to build all targets after any 
change like this to make sure things are still working.
