- RFC - --- Comments, Reviews, Test reports, Notes, everything welcome --- Hi, I recently had the need to create a documentation for a kernel config, and decided to extend the kernel config tool(s) to allow me to do that with minium effort. Specifically, I extended make xconfig (and now also others) for editing a remark per config symbol and I created a config2html frontend to the kconfig lib which outputs the config options with their comments to a HTML table. Besides that, it was sometimes been interesting to be able to add a note for some config choices in order to see that note again when revisiting that config choice again later. So I hope that the patches which I created could be useable by the greater Linux community, and hereby, I submit them for discussion and if liked, for inclusion.
