2.3.41 is dep_bool officially broken? :)

Even if the change A->B was incorrect ?
Notice, that I have reversed only the sections that were incorrect according
to documentation...

In some places (eg. for CONFIG_ROOT_NFS) the "m" dependency should 
disable the option - so suggested changes to Configure break it.

Also, nobody fixed all parsers (Configure, Menuconfig, xconfig) and 
Documentation/kbuild/config-language.txt

Is Michael <mec en shout.net> still the configuration utilities maintainer ?
