This is a `there-is-work-going-on' signal ;)

Got the dependency handling somewhat functional. Unselect "Loadable
module support", and see how it works. I wonder if this should be
called a `theorem prover'.

Notice that `functional != working' ;)

This release introduces the `j-k-space' configuration in menuconfig,
which means that the kernel can be completely configured using the keys
j (down), k (up) and space (toggle, select etc.).

Symbol files are now in a seperate tarball.

`Apparent' changes in version 0.1.3
- Dependency handling (menuconfig)
- Seperate binaries for each type of config
- Expanding shorhand notations in dependencies
- Correct handling of empty expressions
- Correct handling of line numbers in symbol files
- Values can also be enclosed in single quotes
- New tag `rules:' to specify generic constraints
- Code cleanups and restructuring, as usual ;)

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, but got lots do to last week.

Ok here it comes.

Work done:
-Synced with your code.
-Completly rewritten the the c-code <-> tcl-code interface (It now use pipes).
-Dependencys are now partialy working. (Try symbol EXPERIMENTAL or MODULES).

To do:
-Loading / Saving of config files doesn't work for the moment.
-The resolv_* funktions are simply q&d.
-The whole thing should look more like the "original" xconfig.

MfG Christian Koenig (and sorry for my poor English).
