    Hmm.  This makes me a bit uncomfortable.  I'm worried that we are
    going to get a ton of bug reports from people who get caught out in
    the code, despite the warning.  Maybe we should invert the sense of
    the option.  e.g. NO_COMPAT_DF12.
or we add something like
nooptions	COMPAT_DF12
like NetBSD did. inverts the sense in config.  Default on, nooptions = 
off.
