It would be nice if I could get it into 2.6, but it's not a problem if it has to wait. I'm currently busy getting menuconfig working again and then I'm pretty much ready for a beta release.

If you compare it to the xconfig output, yes.

I looked through the list and except from real syntax errors nothing prevents an automatic conversion. I have to manually fix things like CONFIG_ALPHA_NONAME, which is first set by a choice statement and later redefined. My new parser can't deal with this, because user input is given the highest priority.
