 		Tiny systems may need to disable all support for I/O buffering in
 		order to minimum footprint.
 
+		NOTE that even if STDIO buffering is enabled, you can still disable
+		buffer by setting CONFIG_STDIO_BUFFER_SIZE=0 or dynamically through
+		the setvbuf() interface.  In these case, however, there is no
+		reduction in code size.  Only setting CONFIG_STDIO_DISABLE_BUFFERING
