I think the problem here is that if you just say "COMPONENTS=" in the
config file, then it will override the COMPONENTS= on the command-line
(i.e., 'COMPONENTS="xen" ./raise build' no longer works as expected).

We could use one of the "set if not set already" bashisms, but I think
those are all pretty ugly, and probably easy to accidentally forget when
editing.  Since the config file is part of the public interface, I
thought it important to keep it simple and clean.

I'll do the 'if' first, and maybe look at making a function later.

Weird... I thought I had emacs set to use no tabs.  I'll take a look...

Any revision to this given my answer above?  Off the top of my head I
don't see a reason to have three variables.
