Why the cat(1)? "wc -l < .config" is the same

I believe it was originally a longer pipeline, and I can't wc the file
directly or it'll spit out the filename, but < is indeed one less process
spawned per loop.

+# Loop through all lines in the file
+I=1
+while true
+do
+ if [ $I -gt $LENGTH ]
+ then
+ break
+ fi

Could do it with:

for I in $(seq 1 $LENGTH); do
...
done

Makes a 1/10th of a second difference to the final runtime, but if you prefer
that...

or just plain read the lines

+
+ echo -n -e "\r"$I/$LENGTH lines $(cat "$OUTPUT" | wc -c) bytes

Again, unnecessary cat(1).

Yup, a valid cleanup.

The thing is, the script's going to be dog slow no matter what I do, and most
of the slowness isn't in the script, it's the config infrastructure
re-parsing the config file 1500 times or so for defconfig. (The script's
about 3% of the runtime overhead, and the two largest chunks of that are
printing out the progress indicator and the sed invocation right above the
make.) So I didn't put that much effort into optimizing it.

Someday I'd like to go in and make kconfig spit out a miniconfig directly, but
kconfig's not really set up to do that, and touching Roman Zippel's code
would give him the opportunity to say no again.

Anyway, here's a version with your fixes. Thanks for the review,

Rob
