Cool. Is the idea to kill options that have zero effect on anything?
What about options that are broken? Is it worth carrying around tons of
conditionals if they don't even work?

Aren't we supposed to have an army of embedded people that use all of
that stuff? Or is nanobsd circumventing the WITHOUT_FOO logic?
