The localization support is broken and appears unused.
There is no google hits on the update-po-config target.
And there is no recent (5 years) activity related to the localization.

So lets just drop this as it is no longer used.

<title>kconfig: refactor ncurses package checks for building mconf and nconf</title>

The mconf (or its infrastructure, lxdiaglog) depends on the ncurses.
Move and rename check-lxdialog.sh to mconf-cfg.sh to make it work in
the same way as for qconf and gconf.

This commit fixes some more weirdnesses.

The nconf also needs ncurses packages.  HOSTLOADLIBES_nconf is set
to the libraries needed for nconf, but the cflags is not explicitly
set.  Actually, nconf relies on the check-lxdialog.sh for the proper
cflags:

HOST_EXTRACFLAGS += $(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(check-lxdialog) -ccflags) \
                    -DLOCALE

The code above passes the ncurses flags to all objects, even for conf,
qconf, gconf.  Let's pass the ncurses flags only to mconf and nconf.

Currently, the presence of ncurses is not checked for nconf.  Let's
show a prompt like the mconf case.

According to Randy's report, the shell scripts still need to carry
the fallback code in case the pkg-config fails to find the ncurses
packages.

Currently, the necessary package checks for building qconf is
surrounded by ifeq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),xconfig) ... endif.
Then, Make will restart when .tmp_qtcheck is generated.

To simplify the Makefile, move the scripting to a separate file,
and use filechk.  The shell script is executed everytime xconfig
is run, but it is not a costly script.

In the old code, 'pkg-config --exists' only checked Qt5Core / QtCore,
but the set of necessary packages should be checked.

<title>kbuild: add %.lex.c and %.tab.[ch] to 'targets' automatically</title>

Files generated by if_changed* must be added to 'targets' to include
*.cmd files.  Otherwise, they would be regenerated every time.

The build system automatically adds objects to 'targets' where
appropriate, such as obj-y, extra-y, etc. but does nothing for
intermediate files.  So, each Makefile needs to add them by itself.

There are some common cases where objects are generated by chained
rules.  Lexers and parsers are compiled like follows:

   %.lex.o &lt;- %.lex.c &lt;- %.l
   %.tab.o &lt;- %.tab.c &lt;- %.y

They are common patterns, so it is reasonable to take care of them
in the core Makefile instead of requiring each Makefile to do so.

At this moment, you cannot delete 'target += zconf.lex.c' in the
Kconfig Makefile because zconf.lex.c is included from zconf.tab.c
instead of being compiled separately.  It should be deleted after
Kconfig is more refactored.

Files suffixed by .lex.c, .tab.[ch] are generated lexers, parsers,
respectively.  Clean them up globally from the top Makefile.

Some of the final host programs those lexer/parser are linked into
are necessary for building external modules, but the intermediates
are unneeded.  They can be cleaned away by 'make clean' instead of
'make mrproper'.

<title>kconfig: tests: add framework for Kconfig unit testing</title>

Many parts in Kconfig are so cryptic and need refactoring.  However,
its complexity prevents us from moving forward.  There are several
naive corner cases where it is difficult to notice breakage.  If
those are covered by unit tests, we will be able to touch the code
with more confidence.

Here is a simple test framework based on pytest.  The conftest.py
provides a fixture useful to run commands such as 'oldaskconfig' etc.
and to compare the resulted .config, stdout, stderr with expectations.

How to add test cases?
----------------------

For each test case, you should create a subdirectory under
scripts/kconfig/tests/ (so test cases are separated from each other).
Every test case directory should contain the following files:

 - __init__.py: describes test functions
 - Kconfig: the top level Kconfig file for the test

To do a useful job, test cases generally need additional data like
input .config and information about expected results.

How to run tests?
-----------------

You need python3 and pytest.  Then, run "make testconfig".  O= option
is supported.  If V=1 is given, detailed logs captured during tests
are displayed.
