<sigh>.  i was looking at that and, as i mentioned, took a crack
at reorg'ing the filesystems menu in the most recent 2.5.6x
kernels.

sadly, that was pretty easy since the Kconfig files and associated
source files were in the same directory.  so cleaning up a *single*
menu or submenu is not hard.

but it's clear that there is stuff scattered all over the menu
structure that should be related.  the difficulty there is that
different people are responsible for different subsystems,
and look after their own directory structure.  so that makes it
*way* more difficult to bring together options in distant
menus.

i'm trying to do this a little at a time; hence the attempt
to deal with the netfilter stuff as a start.  one level higher
up, it's clear that the entire networking options menu could
stand some cleaning.
