Renaming config to config.d won't help as you will retain phantom
directories in CVS.  So the problem will continue, except for releases.

I don't know if renaming the Config files will help, either, but
it should as deleted files are not checked out.  How about
just Config.lb I don't think the extra c buys us anything.

In addition while I can see supporting case insensitive filesystems
supporting only 8.3 filenames is out.  We have files in the tree
that are too long already and it will be too easy to make that
mistake.
