Since config.h is supposed to contain only #defines and comments, and,
IIRC, repeated #defines are ok, I don't see a problem here.  Since
there is a potential of breaking something by introducing this change,
I'd rather not do it.

If someone abuses config.h for other purposes, they may well take care
of the guards themselves, as Akim suggested.
