Sorry, here is a more complete description of the changes.
Alternatively, would you pull a branch with the section rename stuff taken
out?

Summary of the changes:
- A new configuration interface (make nconfig)
- Improvements to the other *config interfaces
- Better modpost mismatch reporting
- Section rename to allow for -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
- Untagged builds without LOCALVERSION_AUTO have a '+' appended to the
  version string
- Lots of minor fixes & improvements.
