[PATCH 1/2] kconfig: add support for type handlers

[Jeff Mahoney]

 This patch adds type handlers for compressed config files. Initial
 support provides callouts for gzip and bzip2, but there's no reason
 others could be added if demand is there.

 This is intended to allow /proc/config.gz be a configuration source
 for 'make oldconfig' when .config is absent.
