...the Federal Judiciary...an irresponsible body, working like gravity
by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and
advancing its noiseless step like a thief over the field of
jurisdiction until all shall be usurped from the States; and the
government of all be consolidated into one.

Good,  and many thanks for changing bright green to dark green for make 
xconfig. That's much better!

However, the label "Processor type (X86)" is still in cyan, and makes
my poor old tired eyes even more tired.  A nice dark blue would be much 
appreciated.

Few comments:

When .config is missing and error is emitted when running make menuconfig 
(or any other I guess) for the first time. Should this be the case? It's 
ignored so ok but still would be nice not to have an error.

In ttyconfig: If type 'a' then enter then 'a' then enter then 'v' then 
enter it crashes out... Might be specific to where you are at the time. 
Sorry don't remember.

Good performance going up/down in menuconfig now. Even on my Pentium 133S! 
Excellent work! (fastmode on)

Best regards,

         Anton

Yes, that is the expected behavior.  It will go away eventually; this is
part of the transition while the old .config format is still valid.

Just the (undocumented) v command would have done it.  It was expecting a 
numeric debug level argument.  I've fixed it to treat "v' alone as a command
to increment the debug level.

We aim to please...

No matter how one approaches the figures, one is forced to the rather
startling conclusion that the use of firearms in crime was very much
less when there were no controls of any sort and when anyone,
convicted criminal or lunatic, could buy any type of firearm without
restriction.  Half a century of strict controls on pistols has ended,
perversely, with a far greater use of this weapon in crime than ever
before.
