As choice dependency are now fully checked, it's quite easy to add support
for named choices. This lifts the restriction that a choice value can only
appear once, although it still has to be within the same group,
but multiple choices can be joined by giving them a name.
While at it I cleaned up a little the choice type logic to simplify it a
bit.

We have had warnings for a long time about select of unknow symbol
but the warnings does not really makes sense since we may
select a symbol that is relevant and defined in one
arch but not in another arch.
And as long as we do not use a common set of Kconfig files
for all archs lets just ignore this case.
Previously we have used this to find bad uses of
select but we need a more relaible method to do so.

Change kconfig behavior so that mixing bool and tristate config
settings in a choice is possible and has the desired effect of offering
just the tristate options individually if the choice gets set to M, and
a normal boolean selection if the choice gets set to Y.
Also fix scripts/kconfig/conf's handling of children of choice values -
there may be more than one immediate child, and all of them need to be
processed.

Add the possibility to import a value from the environment into kconfig
via the option syntax. Beside flexibility this has the advantage
providing proper dependencies.

This reverts commit a5bf3d891a.
David Brownell notes that this causes a regression visible in the
drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig file:
"That Kconfig hasn't changed (other than adding new drivers), and it's
worked that way for several years now ... so the issue seems to be
changes in menuconfig/kconfig/etc semantics.
The issue is that when USB_GADGET=m, it's no longer possible to
configure peripheral controller drivers as modules ... the
controller drivers can now only be configured for static linkage.
It should be making a choice of one of the controller drivers which
could work on the target system, and allow that driver to be linked
either as a module (ok iff USB_GADGET=m) or statically."
Reverting this commit resolves the problem, and also fixes a second
problem that David noticed: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.

This patch does this and at the same time introduce a few API
funtions used to access the help text.
The relevant api functions are introduced in the various frontends.

This makes it possible to change two options which were hardcoded sofar.
1. Any symbol can now take the role of CONFIG_MODULES
2. The more useful option is to change the list of default file names,
which kconfig uses to load the base configuration if .config isn't
available.

Replace all menu_add_prop mimicking menu_add_prompt with the latter func. I've
had to add a return value to menu_add_prompt for one usage.
I've rebuilt scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped by hand to reflect changes
in the source (I've not the same Bison version so regenerating it wouldn't
have been not a good idea), and compared it with what Roman itself did some
time ago, and it's the same.
So I guess this can be finally merged.

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.
No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.
Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:
LANG= make menuconfig
is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.
Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:
http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes
To start the translation process:
make update-po-config
This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.
To test your translation, as root issue this command:
msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po
Replace "es" with your language code.
Then execute, for instance:
make menuconfig
The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.
Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.
I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
