        Just an FYI.. when one runs 'make xconfig', and goes to request help 
on a certain option given, a message comes up:

                                RTFM

No Help available - unable to open file Documentation/Configure.help. This 
file should have come with your kernel.

        Vanilla 2.5.3 and the patch for it, removes the file. Is this being 
worked on? make oldconfig will work for now, but just a heads up.

                                                        BL.

Known issue.  Configure.help has been split up, menuconfig and xconfig
don't know this yet.  If you want to fix it, feel free.  It's probably
not all that hard - just remember what directory you read Config.in
from and look for Configure.help there.

The current config tools are (it is believed) approaching the end of
their lifecycle, so most of the usual suspects aren't terribly eager to
hack on them in 2.5.  That's probably why this isn't fixed yet.
