small patch, but Linux Kernel Conf in 2.5.44 works great

[bert hubert]

Slight warning patch, but Linux Kernel Conf is really cool. From a users'
perspective, I note that the 'help' function is very fast now, which used to
be embarrassingly slow.

Make oldconfig also works as planned.

I would indeed however vote to make the xconfig program available separately
as well. Many users may need a different compiler for xconfig than for the
kerel (dreaded C++ ABI issues).

Right now, it is some hassle to make sure that the right compiler is used
for xconfig and the kernel.

Thanks.

It's already almost possible. Only very little is missing to make the X 
interface externally callable (currently it still gets a few variables 
automatically from the Makefile and it has to check itself whether the 
library was built).
