Sigh!  Because popen() doesn't fail when the command is bogus, it seems.
I now do stat() to check for it existing, and that seems to handle the
remote-output case.

Thank you!!!

Good point.  But the same is true of the Linux kernel version
identifier, right?

Anyway, here is the updated patch.

							Thanx, Paul

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 (but with leading hash marks):

	Automatically generated make config: don't edit
	Linux kernel version: 2.6.33-01836-g90a6501-dirty
	Mon Mar  1 17:05:59 2010

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