 Please close this, vnconfig is being used in this instance without any
 arguments intentionally in order to load the 'vn' module. I don't know
 how this person decided that it was worth reporting...

 Wouldn't it load at the first "real" use of vnconfig anyway?

 From my point of view, I reported that a command in a makefile never
 works; I'd never have thought of an intentional error in order to
 pre-load a module, honestly.
 
 Can be closed if the behaviour is as intended, of course.

Usage of vnconfig was correct; mdconfig is used now, anyway.
