Besides which, I think it is ridiculous that one would have to download and install a "kernel configurator" just to build a kernel. Current minimum requirements for compiling the thing are gcc, binutils and GNU make. The kernel can't very well ship a copy of any of those, because (a) they're huge and (b) they're useful for many things other than building kernels. Roman's library is neither. (And no, "modutils" isn't a counterexample - you can build, install and run a kernel without it.)
