The recent change which added a fatal for not having a default or 
user set value for a parameter broke X86_FS. There wasn't any way to 
really know that was going to happen since it wouldn't show up until run 
time and X86_FS isn't generally in a known condition, so I'm not all 
that upset about the actual breakage. The fix is relatively simple, but 
unfortunately I didn't realize my recent pull broke things until I'd 
moved a considerable number of patches into regular changesets. I could 
push as is and fix the problem later in the history, but then all of the 
steps between the param change and now will be broken. I think there's a 
way to turn changesets back into patches which I'll try. Is there a 
better way to handle this? Also, is it really correct for all parameters 
to have to have a default value or a user set value? What about things 
that are optional? It's not possible to set a default value of "None" as 
far as I know.
