Subject: Make good on my promise to finally clean up the config clobbering. If
 you invoke config with the `-n' flag or have NO_CONFIG_CLOBBER in your
 environment, config will behave the same way it used to.  This is now
 _documented_ as well.  Rip out all the CONFIG_DONT_CLOBBER cruft; some of it
 wasn't even correct anyway.
