I spent the whole afternoon searching the archives of this list and the
development list and I couldn't find a useful discussion that describes
the building of a custom kernel as a user.  I did find many flame wars
though.

I also see that there is an open bug on bugzilla  asking for
documentation on exactly this.
	http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130754

I figure it might be useful and I plan to TRY and participate in the
documentation on this.
