I have thought about something like that in the past, but I wasn't sure where 
we'd put the files for cross-compiling where host os != target os.

I think it would make sense to separate the CONFIG.* files from the 
CONFIG_SITE.* files, since users are only supposed to edit the latter.  We 
currently ship 162 CONFIG.* files but only 61 CONFIG_SITE.* files.

Discussion and ideas welcome...
