Config.in, Documention.help, config.h suggestions

How about this? Each configuration variable has as part of it's name, the
directory where it should most likely reside. IE CONFIG+AF8-IP+AF8-MASQUERADE would
become CONFIG+AF8-NET+AF8-IPV4+AF8-MASQUERADE. This format could be used to reduce the size
of Documentation.help, and reduce config.h. Using the above variable, the
header would be include/linux/config/net/ipv4/masquerade.h.

Having the config variables named this way would make mkdep faster if config.h
was split up, as the directory was part of the name.

Any comments? Problems?
