I need to drive a PCMCIA card on an x86 platform, so I tried to find
pcmciautils on menuconfig.  But as I have x86 defined, it is not there.

Search reveals that it should be in Utilities, but it says that it depends on
LINUX_2_6 && PCMCIA_SUPPORT.  LINUX_2_6 is defined for x86, but it would
appear that PCMCIA_SUPPORT is only selected (according to menuconfig) by:-

TARGET_bcrm_2_4 && choice || TARGET_pxa && choice && BROKEN || 
TARGET_au1000_au1500 && choice & TARGET_au1000

Which means that for all practical purposed the only place it works is
on the AU1500 - as brcm_2_4 fails with LINUX_2_6 and PXA is BROKEN.

But there are several x86 platforms which have PCMCIA slots.  I have two, 
the old Compulab-586 and the Microtik RB230 - which remarkably can
still be bought.  It is also present on some older Soekris cards, and of 
course most laptops (not usually OpenWRT targets, but if you have an 
old one lying around you might as well do something with it).

So the question is how do I get PCMCIA_SUPPORT added to x86?  I am
unsure where menuconfig finds this expression and therefore how to 
change it.
