This patch add a new script, that is called by all the config scripts when
help is needed from Configure.help. It automatically builds a byte index of
Configure.help, which can be used on subsequent runs to extract the help. I
notice a speed increase on my P188 with 32 megs. This should help out slower
machines.
It also can scan a separate directory, and include separate files listed there
into the help system. Ie Documentation/Configure.help *and*
Documentation/config/* can all be used. The config/* file format is exactly
the same as Configure.help.
