Hmm  
Move app Foo to KConfig_XT = 10 hours
Move app Foo to KAutoConfig = 9 hours

Total work that you have to do if I port to KAutoConfig = 1 hour
Total work that you have to do if I do squat = 10 hour.

How is it that I am generating MORE work for others?

What do you mean it didn't sell, taking a peek over at KConfig_XT's code I see 
a bunch of it.  Good enough for me.  Nothing lasts, there is only iterations, 
heck in three years KConfig will probably be completely re-written with the 
knowledge that we have gained.
