Hmm, we actually did things like this on purpose, in order to avoid
"mixed" configurations. i.e. if you set "LANG=de_DE" on the kernel
command line you would probably be very much annoyed if LC_MESSAGES=C
which you set in the config file would still hold.

Hence we decided to either take the set of config options altogther or
none at all, but not try to merge them.

Does that make sense to you?
