The master branch is currently broken.  In backporting some changes
from -git, it appears that Mauro had forgotten to "hg add" a Kconfig
file.  I've cc'd him to this email, and hopefully he'll fix the
problem soon.  In the meanwhile, you can roll back to the commit
before the breakage:

changeset:   7794:51c8465ecc72

To do this, you can clone a fresh tree at that revision:

hg clone -r 51c8465ecc72 {source tree} {destination tree}

...There are some other ways to do this as well ... this is the easiest.

I hope this helps,

Mike
