small patch, but Linux Kernel Conf in 2.5.44 works great

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.

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).
