i believe the idea is that you now set this, and other local things
like CFLAGS, i a file in the top directory called .config.mak.

i agree that the other seemed more convenient.

but mostly i think that 
    a) the .config.mak file should not be a hidden file, and
    b) an empty copy of config.mak should be included in the
	source, with comments describing its purpose, and a
	couple of example lines to make the required format
	and likely contents obvious to the person configuring.
