Hmm. The CONFIG_MPI/DIGSIG thing really should go away as a question, I think. I'd expect modules that need it to select it, there's no point in asking a user "do you want this enabled" afaik. And "DIGSIG" is really a horrible config name. Did somebody run out of letters suddenly? Is there some global letter shortage that I haven't been told of and that we should do something about? But I pulled it. Please do fix it up, though. Linus
