Yep... if you have NO_PERM_DEATH on you don't need to have RESURRECTION
on.  I don't know if it would generate more code or not to have it on but
I still think it's nice to have all the flexability.  It took me maybe 3-4
minutes to go through config.h.  I _REALLY_ don't think it's that
difficult.  Spending a few minutes in there and the other header is a
dream come true compared to some of the nightmares we used to go through. 
Used to take us a few hours to get x-fire running.  Now we can install a
new version in about 20 minutes once we have it.  I'll suffer with the
many options gladfully.
