Very nice, thank you!!!

Here is the updated patch.  Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul

[PATCH RFC] kconfig: place localversion string in .config output

This patch appends the localversion string to the Linux kernel version.
For example, in a git tree with uncommitted changes, the .config file
might start as follows:

# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.33-01836-g90a6501-dirty
# Mon Mar  1 08:21:49 2010

This patch uses the scripts/setlocalversion output, so similar output
is also generated for svn and mercurial.
