More compatible and just as good would be to save the entry, check if
it is identical to default, and if yes prepend a 
# DEFAULT#:

Just comment it out, and let the user uncomment it. (That is the way
mutt and icewm use, quite nice)

Good idea and let ther be compiler warnings and debug output in
kconfig for entries without those.
