This is a 2.2.17pre20 refresh of the /proc/config.gz patch originally
created by, well, here are the credits:
Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org> Jan 15 1999
Derived from a patch by Nicholas Leon <nicholas@binary9.net> with
suggestions from Michael Chastain <mec@shout.net> and Peter T. Breuer
I've been using it for at least a year and it's great....
