bah.. fat fingers. Nick and Benjamin just gave two different reasons for this menu. If it is just to download the tools needed to build, let's give that context.

If the intention is to set a mozconfing, I'm note sure that belongs here, maybe do that when there isn't a MOZCONFIG set and someone tries to build.
