Hi James,

To test it, you run it before and after and see if any changes in
behaviour occur. If they do, you have a bug.

You changed the semantic meaning of the calls to 'dep_tristate'.
It looks like the original intent of these lines was to have a
default value of "N". But of course 'dep_tristate' takes the
third argument as a value or a variable to depend on. Perhaps
they should just be 'tristate'. But I believe if you simply strip
the third argument off, 'make xconfig' will barf on them.
