Yes, I have been modifying Menuconfig. But I though I only removed the
help functions. I don't remember doing anything to AUTOCONF_INCLUDED. It
was removed, and I have put it back. This is NOT a bug report.

Re: my removing the help functions. I did it so that the *config scripts
would call my external scripts/help routine. Check the list archives for
info.

ps: I am attemping to convert Menuconfig to "C." Wish my luck!
