Hello. The following patch makes split-include take another argument,
which is the prefix of what is being split up. This is needed since I'm
working on a system which will allow for various params in the kernel to
be tweaked at compile-time, without offering numerous CONFIG options
(see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=103669658505842&w=2).
I'm sending this out for two reasons. First, does anyone see any
problems with the patch itself? Second, Kai, would you be willing to
apply this patch now, or would should I wait until the system is ready?

Well,

it does seem a bit inefficient to call strlen() for every single line
of every single source file. Perhaps today's compilers know that
strlen() is invariant and has no side effects, but I vote you go ahead
and optimise it explicitly.

Sounds good, thanks.

Hmmh, I think I'd rather like to wait for the rest of the patch to see
what its actual purpose is. If at all possible, I'd like to avoid
introducing further hacks like this into kbuild, but that's more easily
discussed when I can see what you're trying to achieve.

Okay. I hope to have another version of the patch out soon, and with a
few more kbuild questions once I convince myself that most of it works
(Adding in something similar to the CONFIG tweaking done by fixdep, but
with no real convinient way to see if the user changed something or
not).
