[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols
Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

8 This is support for the Novell networking protocol, IPX, commonly
9 used for local networks of Windows machines. You need it if you
10 want to access Novell NetWare file or print servers using the Linux
11 Novell client ncpfs (available from
12 <ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/>) or from
13 within the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO,
14 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>). In order
15 to do the former, you'll also have to say Y to "NCP file system
16 support", below.
17
18 IPX is similar in scope to IP, while SPX, which runs on top of IPX,
19 is similar to TCP. There is also experimental support for SPX in
20 Linux (see "SPX networking", below).
21
22 To turn your Linux box into a fully featured NetWare file server and
23 IPX router, say Y here and fetch either lwared from
24 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/daemons/> or
25 mars_nwe from <ftp://www.compu-art.de/mars_nwe/>. For more
26 information, read the IPX-HOWTO available from
27 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
28
29 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
30 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

32 The IPX driver would enlarge your kernel by about 16 KB. To compile
33 this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ipx.
34 Unless you want to integrate your Linux box with a local Novell
35 network, say N.
