This is a pretty trivial patch, but it fixes something kind of annoying.
USB Storage does not show up in the config menu if SCSI is not enabled.
My laptop is the only place i ever use USB. I would always disable SCSI
because I don't have any SCSI devices for my laptop.
Then I tried to figure out why my USB floppy drive would never work...
The following patch modifies the config to display a "You need to enable SCSI
for USB Storage" message if SCSI is not enabled. (Using the exact phrasing
(and code) from the USB multimedia message.)
Here is the patch. It has been tested for 2.4.17 and 2.5.1. It would have
been shorter, but i added indenting to make the code look consistant.)
Hopefully linewrap does not hose this.
