That sounds OK. Will that fix be MFCed back to RELENG_6?
I could really use it, because I often use include files
in kernel configurations.
By the way, it would be cool to have an ELF section in the
kernel that contains a .tar.gz with the kernel config and
all included files.
No, just kidding. Couldn't resist. :-)
