* Wed Mar 12 1997 Michael K. Johnson - Fixed a bug in parsing options.- Changed to use a build tree, then copy the finished tree into the image after it is built.- Added patches derived from ones written by Christian Hechelmann which add an option to put the kernel version number at the end of the module name and use install -s to strip binaries on the fly.
