This group of patches improve the usability of kernel configuration system,
mainly,

1. add symbol's value shown accompanied in config item's help message;
2. move the real plumbing functions code from mconf.c to menu.c, make them
be able to be shared with other configuration methods;
3. add "symbol's value shown" support for gconfig/xconfig/config;

0001--KBUILD-add-symbol-value-to-help-find-the-real-depe.patch
0002--KBUILD-add-menu_get_ext_help-function-to-display-m.patch
0003--KBUILD-menuconfig-improvements.patch
0004--KBUILD-make-use-of-menu_get_ext_help-in-gconfig.patch
0005--KBUILD-make-use-of-menu_get_ext_help-in-qconfig.patch
0006--KBUILD-make-use-of-menu_get_ext_help-in-make-conf.patch

I found gconfig still lack of "search by symbol" support, and that would be
in another patch.

Request for comments, thanks.
