Subject: 2.6.22.7 autoconf.h is screwed up

Hi all,

2.6.22.7's include/linux/autoconf.h is completely screwed up as
compare to 2.6.10's autoconf.h .

2.6.22.7 totally changed the meaning of autoconf.h

By just reading autoconf.h of 2.6.10 , we can understand what is the
system and its configuration, it is properly arranged and divided into
categories :

/*
* Automatically generated C config: don't edit
* Linux kernel version: 2.6.10
* Mon Sep 24 20:56:59 2007
*/
#define AUTOCONF_INCLUDED
#define CONFIG_X86 1
#define CONFIG_MMU 1
#define CONFIG_UID16 1
#define CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA 1
#define CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP 1

/*
* Code maturity level options
*/
#define CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL 1
#define CONFIG_CLEAN_COMPILE 1
#define CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL 1

/*
* General setup
*/
#define CONFIG_LOCALVERSION ""
#define CONFIG_SWAP 1
#define CONFIG_SYSVIPC 1
#define CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE 1
#define CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT 1
#undef CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
#define CONFIG_SYSCTL 1


And on 2.6.22.7's autoconf.h is haphazard, not formatted , not
readable and looks totally funny.

/*
* Automatically generated C config: don't edit
* Linux kernel version: 2.6.22.7
* Mon Sep 24 20:49:40 2007
*/
#define AUTOCONF_INCLUDED
#define CONFIG_USB_SISUSBVGA_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT 1
#define CONFIG_PCMCIA_FMVJ18X_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_ACPI_AC_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK 1
#define CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP 1
#define CONFIG_OSF_PARTITION 1
#define CONFIG_USB_LEGOTOWER_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_FB_TRIDENT_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_FB_RIVA_BACKLIGHT 1
#define CONFIG_DVB_PLUTO2_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_GAMEPORT_NS558_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_JOYSTICK_GRIP_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_HISAX_ELSA 1
#define CONFIG_BONDING_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT366 1
#define CONFIG_MTD_ABSENT_MODULE 1


Can you please let me know what is the idea behind this latest
autoconf.h and who is creator of this ugly autoconf.h.

Thank you,

Jaswinder Singh.
