[PATCH, TRIVIAL] 2.4.20-pre8 BeFS Config.in modification

[PATCH, TRIVIAL] 2.4.20-pre8 BeFS Config.in modification

[Garrett Kajmowicz]

I am planning on making an effort to move the relevent code for the Config.in 
files into the appropriate directory.  Attached is a simple patch which will 
do this for the BeFS.

Questions:
Is this appropriate for this list?
Are there any reasons not to do this?
As I am planning on doing a lot of these, where should I send them?
Any other suggestions/advice?

If those filesystems had a dozen options each, it'd be worthwhile
perhaps. Saving 1-2 lines per-fs for the whole fs/Config.in
makes this seem not-so-worthwhile imo, but others may think otherwise..

I am not doing this to reduce the size of the Config.in files.  I am doing it 
because my main project (writing a script to provide stripped-down versions 
of the Linux kernel source code for people over slower connections) all but 
requires everything neat and in it's own directory for optimal performance.  
I could use a lot of grep/gawk but that would cause more problems for people 
who wanted to download the stripped source code.

Besides, it's The Right Thing To Do {tm}
