+# This scripts generates either a choice or a menuconfig
+# with the specified entries.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   generate a choice:
+#       gen_in_frags.sh choice <out-file> <label> <config-prefix> <base-dir> <conditionals> entry [entry...]
+#
+#   generate a menuconfig:
+#       gen_in_frags.sh menu <out-file> <label> <config-prefix> <base-dir> entry [entry...]
+#
+# where:
+#   out-file
+#       put the generated choice/menuconfig into that file
+#       for choices, it acts as the base bname of the file, the secondary
+#       parts (the .in.2) are put in out-file.2
+#
+#   label
+#       name for the entries family
+#       eg. Architecture, Kernel...
+#
+#   config-prefix
+#       prefix for the choice entries
+#       eg. ARCH, KERNEL...
+#
+#   base-dir
+#       base directory containing config files
+#       eg. config/arch, config/kernel...
+#
+#   conditionals (valid only for choice)
+#       generate backend conditionals if Y/y, don't if anything else
+#       if 'Y' (or 'y'), a dependency on the backen mode will be added
+#       to each entry
+#
+#   entry [entry...]
+#       a list of entry/ies toadd to the choice/menuconfig
+#       eg.:
+#           arm mips sh x86...
+#           linux cygwin mingw32 solaris...
+#           ...
