I tried not to change the logic of the spell: Formerly, it was

if [ "$DEVICES" != "devfs" ]; then
check_static_dev
fi &&

So both udev and static mode triggered the check_static_dev function, while
this function then asked for creation of the static tree, defaulting to y.
What I did was to move that question out of the function and out of INSTALL
(!!) into the configure stage, but not changing default behaviour.
I must admit that I feel safer when there are some device nodes as fallback
even when using udev. It doesn't hurt, normally, but it shouldn't be
necessary.

To change this default behaviour, that is a question that perhaps needs a bit
of discussion. When ppl agree, I'm not opposing.

Agreed. I just didn't think of '/' being a term on its own, but in Unix world
it dead sure is!
