[PATCH] kbuild: Update to diffconfig to support python 2.6 and greater

[Mike Pagano]

Modification of the diffconfig script to support python versions 2.6 and 
greater. 

Note that Linux distributions are starting to deprecate python versions < 2.5

Diffconfig is a utility script for comparing kernel configuration files.

Dumb question - The original script works for me with python 2.7.3 from
openSUSE. Does python have some strict mode that would show the problems
you are fixing? It's always good to mention the actual error to the
changelog.

Again, superfluous information.

Thanks,

I now tried the patched version on a system with python 2.4.2 and it
fails with:
  File "../diffconfig2", line 103
    except IOError as e:
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The original version works fine with both 2.4.2 and 2.7.3. So should the
changelog actually read "drop support for python < 2.5"? What do we gain
by this change?

Thanks,
Michal
