THe core is the current kernel release source with Linus' default release
.config file.  Chances are the core kernel will appear in exactly 0
distributions as distributed. All will probably do a make config with
slightly different options. 

We are not going to help anyone by trying to enforce a particular make
config on the world.

SEUL will be built with that core kernel and distributed in binary form as
a package with modules.

Please remember there is a clear distinction between core and SEUL. SEUL
is built using the core sources.
