Smart CONFIG_* dependencies: patch available for 2.1.71

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

Hello kernel hackers,

Here it is:

    ftp://ftp.shout.net/pub/users/mec/patch/smart-config.2171

This patch implements smart CONFIG_* dependencies.  If foo.c doesn't use
CONFIG_BAR, it doesn't get recompiled when CONFIG_BAR changes.  This cuts
'make zImage' time about 90% when changing configuration options.

This version has a small change to track the new drivers/net/Makefile.

So far I've gotten three success reports and no bug reports.  I need
five to ten success reports in order to submit to Linus.
