- Need configs for other currently-unsupported arches
- Make configs stackable
- Move modules_load to /etc/genkernel
- Refactor modules_load to not ship 12 identical arch configs
- Move main config to /etc/genkernel
- Refactor code to be more simple and extendable
- Fix all TODO sections in the code
- Add "include" options to genkernel.conf

	- Security Tokens for encrypted block devices
- Document the different code paths and hooks for external modules
- Add support for Hardware auto-detection
  - Fully automatic
    - Verify required kernel support for detected hardware used at boot
	- Automatically enable missing options
	- All supported modules copied to initramfs via default modules_load
	- Enable all "hot pluggable" devices (USB, PCMCIA, etc)
  - Partially automatic
    - Verify required kernel support for detected hardware used at boot
	- Automatically enable missing options
    - Copy only required modules to initramfs via modules_load
  - Interactive
