i'm not actually changing the .config.  i'm just downloading each new
"bk" upgrade and rebuilding with the same .config file, strictly

won't have changed, except for (as i wondered) some possible internal
module versioning value that would cause problems.

i guess the easiest thing is just to test it and see what happens.
