A port uses _either_ new config or old config.  Under NetBSD-current,
they're called `config' and `config.old' now.  All ports except the hp300
use config (new style).  As soon as the hp300 is converted, `config.old'
will go away.

So, if you're using NetBSD 1.0 on an i386, you use old config, and don't
have much choice.
