This doesn't seem to work with 2.1.85 and fixing the make menuconfig problems.
Mine still comes up with no options, just a line, and the 2 options allowing
you to load alternate configuration files. Below is a screen copy provided by
rxvt, and the error output from awk, it's finding problems in
some of the files, preventing parsing properly.

On 05-Feb-98 Michael Elizabeth Chastain was overheard by robert saying:
| Hi guys,
|
| Here is another short Menuconfig patch (35 lines):
|
| <ftp://ftp.shout.net/pub/users/mec/patch/menuconfig-init.2185>
|
| This patch changes Menuconfig to initialize unset variables to 'n'.
| This makes "$CONFIG_FOO" != "n" tests work as expected.
|
| This is not my preferred way to solve this problem but I believe it
| works and has no bugs. Please check it out and let me know how it works
| for you.
|
| Regards,
|
