linux kernel conf 1.1

Hi,

At http://www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/lc/ you can find the latest version of the new config system.
Smaller changes:
- update to 2.5.44
- new qconf option, which enables some debug output in the help window

The only big change this time is that I added a SWIG interface, which allows to generate a extension library for your favourite script language. I did this already for ruby, 'make ruby' builds the library kconfig.so in the .ruby subdir.
I also included some examples, since they are short and fun, I included them below.
The first example shows a working (but not very comfortable) miniconf:

-----
require "kconfig"
include Kconfig

conf_parse("arch/i386/Kconfig")
conf_read(nil)

def conf(menu)
return unless menu.isVisible?
prompt = menu.prompt
if prompt.type == P_COMMENT || prompt.type == P_MENU
print "* #{prompt.text}\n"
end
sym = menu.sym
if sym
begin
print "#{prompt.text} (#{sym.get_string})? " unless sym.isChangable?
print "\n"
break
end
val = gets.strip
end until val.empty? || sym.set_string(val)
end
menu.each do |child|
conf(child)
end
end

conf(Kconfig.rootmenu)

conf_write(nil)

This is all you need to configure your kernel. :) The second example prints information about a config option:

-----
require "kconfig"
include Kconfig

conf_parse("arch/i386/Kconfig")
conf_read(nil)

sym = Kconfig::Symbol.find(ARGV[0])
if !sym

        print "Symbol #{ARGV[0]} not found!\n"
        exit

end

sym.calc_value
print "symbol: #{sym.name}\n"

print "  type: #{Kconfig::Symbol.type_name(sym.type)}\n"
print "  value: #{sym.get_string}\n"
print "  choice\n" if sym.isChoice?
print "  choice value\n" if sym.isChoiceValue?
print "  properties:\n" if sym.prop

sym.each do |prop|
case prop.type
when P_PROMPT
print " prompt: #{prop.text}\n"
when P_DEFAULT
prop.def.calc_value
print " default: #{prop.def.get_string}\n"
when P_CHOICE
print " choice reference\n"
else
print " unknown property:
#{Property.type_name(prop.type)}\n"
end
print " dep: #{prop.visible.expr}\n" if prop.visible.expr
end

This gives you a basic idea about the internal structures of lkc.
