Merge branch 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

Pull kconfig changes from Michal Marek:
 "I forgot to send a pull request in time for the v3.8-rc1 merge window,
  so the list is a bit longer this time:

   - menuconfig enables extended colors in ncurses if the wide-character
     version is used.

   - CONFIG_ prefix can be specified in the environment to make life
     easier for people using kconfig multiple times in a single tree (no
     functional change in the kernel kconfig usage).

   - kconfig aborts on OOM.

   - inputboxes in menuconfig allow to move the cursor.

   - menuconfig has Save/Load buttons now.

   - xconfig build fix with new g++ and Qt3.

   - nconfig color scheme fix and help text update.

   - make oldconfig prints newlines when output is redirected.

   - some other minor fixes."

-Kconfig symbol existence
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The following two methods produce the same kconfig symbol dependencies
-but differ greatly in kconfig symbol existence (production) in the
-generated config file.
-
-case 1:
-
-config FOO
-        tristate "about foo"
-        depends on BAR
-
-vs. case 2:
-
-if BAR
-config FOO
-        tristate "about foo"
-endif
-
-In case 1, the symbol FOO will always exist in the config file (given
-no other dependencies).  In case 2, the symbol FOO will only exist in
-the config file if BAR is enabled.
