Some minor corrections to my Configure.help patches, as suggested by
lkml regulars. Should be applied on top of my patches 1-4.

More rambling from a semi-retired kbuild guy ...
The linux kernel has a lot of semi-independent subsystems which are
maintained upstream of Linus. Also there are several parallel trees
(especially the non-x86 arch trees) which are upstream in some ways and
downstream in anothers.

This patch continues the Configure.help patches 1-5 I issued under the
subject "Supplying missing entries for Configure.help". It
merges two duplicates (CONFIG_A3000_SCSI, CONFIG_FB_PM2) that I
inadvertently introduced while adding help texts. It corrects a minor
error in the entry for code page

So. I've written a cross-reference analyzer for the configuration symbol
namespace. It's included with CML 1.2.0, which I just released. The
main reason I wrote it was to detect broken symbols.

OK. Expect from me, then, a second patch that (a) cleans up
After implementing logic to strip out comments in .c and .h files, and
to ignore changelog files, the number of broken symbols in 2.4.4pre4
drops from 731 to 699. Most of the cruft is real cruft.
