The issue I occasionally have with that is that it only tells you the
name of the CONFIG_ variable. It doesn't tell you what the menu entry
is. It's not always obvious what menu entry corresponds to
CONFIG_<whatever>, and you sometimes have to work your way down the
menu looking at the help for each one until you find the one you're
looking for. This seems to a problem I run into regularly for things
like network drivers. The CONFIG_ variable name usually matches the
module name, but but there's often little or no correlation between
the CONFIG_ name and the menu entry you use to enable/disable it.
