           Summary: Automate "to compile as module" strings
           Product: Other
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.27
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: Configuration
        AssignedTo: zippel at linux-m68k.org
        ReportedBy: kernel1 at cyberdogtech.com


I've spent quite a bit of time scanning through Kconfig files correcting
various textual errors.  One thing that I've noticed is variations of "To
compile X as a module, choose M here.  The module will be called Y" occur
extremely frequently.  A quick grep of the current mainline actually reveals
~1192 instances of it.  It seems very redundant to me to have everyone who adds
a module or feature copy and paste this text, when it could seemingly be
dynamically generated with ease.

Is there any reason we can't simply standardize on one string, and display it
for any component that has the module option available?
