Well, here is a new copy of the patch... I've implemented the changes
you requested :
 - no more messages at boot time,
 - one level /proc entry (/proc/config.gz)
 - no more unnecessary version entry.

I've also added a Kconfig dependancy on PROC_FS. Compiling without
PROC_FS support is fine without this dependancy, but result in 
nothing being present, which may be puzzling.

Regards,
Paul
