8ea13e2c87 kconfig: implement the `mainmenu' directive
If specified, the directive must be placed at the top of the Kconfig file.

We need to change the grammar to make the mainmenu directive set the
`rootmenu' prompt. This reflect how menu_add_prompt() works internally, ie.
set the prompt of the `current_entry', pointing originally to `rootmenu'.

93449082e9 kconfig: environment symbol support
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.
Documented the options syntax.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
