Hunch....

One, is grub required to compile kernel?

Second, can we please stick to " absolutely required software" than showing optional??

Separator adding is good one.

These are minimal requirements to compile and run the kernel.
Running requires installing it first and install tools are
required. grub is listed in Documentation/Changes.

This is an attempt sync this ver_linux with Documentation/Changes
and print out complete list which includes optional.

Embedding a new line character at the start of the separator string
would eliminate the need for the extra printf("\n") statements
introduced.

Consequently, this printf could be removed as well.
