Subject: BUG: nconfig doesn't preserve case in its menu display

When I do "make nconfig" and go to "General Setup" my "Local version -
append to kernel release" entry appears as:

    (-avar-akbar) Local version - append to kernel release

When I use "make menuconfig" it's:

    (-Avar-Akbar) Local version - append to kernel release

And my .config agrees:

    $ ack -n1 CONFIG_LOCALVERSION .config
    CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-Avar-Akbar"

But when I edit the version string in both menuconfig and nconfig it
retains the correct casing.

I briefly searched through the nconfig code, but couldn't find
anything pertinent to the localversion, so this is probably a more
general issue.
