Well, this isn't true, it wouldn't take more than a couple hundred. Of
course, this would be pretty difficult to sift through by hand, and they
can depend on each other in interesting ways, so someone would probably
need to write some sort of tool to set them and feed this back to the
kernel - maybe more than one tool - one ncurses-based, one pure text,
one qt, or maybe something wacky like tcltk. We could call these tools
something like "menuflagconfig", "xflagconfig", "flagconfig", or
something similar. Actually, I'm surprised no-one has already done
anything like this.
