SubjectGarbage-collection patches for Configure.help
Auditing of the CML1 configuration system reveals that the following entries
in Configure.help are orphans -- that is, they correspond to configuration
symbols not in use in 2.4.3.

The patch following the list garbage-collects the Configure.help file.
Symbols marked 'removed' are removed; symbols marked 'kept' are retained
because they are commented out in the CML1 sources but might become
active again. In three cases I have identified and fixed entries
corresponding to renamed symbols.

- are a lot of bits between New York and London ...). If you say Y
- here, bigger buffers can be used which allows larger amounts of data

-Parallel port SCSI device support
