  i've noticed that happening fairly often -- feature infrastructure
is added before the feature itself.  at the risk of sounding all
preachy and everything, that sort of thing should be avoided in order
to keep the history cleaner.  and because that's *exactly* the sort of
thing that, occasionally, produces the kind of historical cruft that
leaves unused CONFIG variables lying around when a feature is
abandoned in midstream.

  ok, i'll stop preaching now.
