This is quite easy to fix, but it will require some work. Someone has to
go through the configuration and check the dependencies, as the
dependencies are used to generate the menu structure.
Below I fixed e.g. the parport config, sometimes there is still cml1
cruft, which couldn't be completely fixed during the automatic conversion,
the logic is still the same, but the menu structure is a little messed up.
So if someone wants to do this, I'd be happy to help and review the work.
bye, Roman
