(The new option is called "Show all prompt options".)

These patches are looking good so far in my limited testing.

However, if gconfig is going to live, it needs at least one more thing:
it should display the kconfig symbol type (tristate, boolean, etc.)
like xconfig does (explicitly) and menuconfig does (by using [x] or <x>
in the menu).
