make xconfig whinges about Configure.help
Just an FYI.. when one runs 'make xconfig', and goes to request help
on a certain option given, a message comes up:
RTFM
No Help available - unable to open file Documentation/Configure.help. This file should have come with your kernel.
Vanilla 2.5.3 and the patch for it, removes the file. Is this being
worked on? make oldconfig will work for now, but just a heads up.

Known issue. Configure.help has been split up, menuconfig and xconfig don't know this yet. If you want to fix it, feel free. It's probably not all that hard - just remember what directory you read Config.in from and look for Configure.help there.
The current config tools are (it is believed) approaching the end of their lifecycle, so most of the usual suspects aren't terribly eager to hack on them in 2.5. That's probably why this isn't fixed yet.
