I immediately liked you idea. Having an easily accessible description of 
the Xenomai kernel configuration parameters helps users a lot. So far I 
just realized some problems with "choice" but they seem not related to 
the conversion. It's more likely a bug in menuconfig.

You mean re-running "prepare-kernel" should update the Xenomai block in 
Configure.help? Doing it in the perl script should not be a big deal.
