Some parameters can override those saved.
Everything you see in modules.lst can be overridden from the command
line. The most useful ones are probably: include_modules and skip_modules.
For config.mak, the most useful overrides/additions are Q, CPU,
CC_EXTRA_OPTS (additional CC opts), BASEDIR, PREFIX and possibly
CFLAGS_RM and CFLAGS.
