What makes our API odd at places (and what makes it especially hard to port) 
is that we pass a KConfig object and you can never know if the group is 
already set or if the function will set it for you. And even worse: if it 
will touch the group or not. 

This should have been done correct from the beginning and I'm afraid that 
going now through all KConfig usage I'll do too many mistakes. Of course 
there is a possibility to deprecate it all and live with 1000 warnings for 
the moment.
