Hi Jan,

The current fs menu is too long IMO, so this helps.

This leaves minixfs and romfs in the main fs menu (where they were,
i.e., no change).  I would move them to the Miscellaneous fs menu...
and then move Quota support to after Dnotify so that Inotify & Dnotify
are next to each other.  Yes, I realize that they were already
separated by Quota and that this patch did not cause that.
