This tree seems to change the Makefile dependancies in the kconfig 
subdirectory such that a plain compile of the kernel leads to an attempt 
to build the menuconfig targets.  This in turn adds a new dependancy on 
the curses development libraries.

  08/15/06-05:23:09 building kernel - make -j4 vmlinux
    HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o
  In file included from scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:24:
              scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:31:20: error: curses.h:
              No such file or directory

This seems to come from this rather innocent sounding change in that tree:

    kconfig/lxdialog: refactor color support

which also seems to change the Makefile about, specifically bringing the 
sub Makefile into the top level one.

[...]

+# lxdialog stuff
+check-lxdialog  := $(srctree)/$(src)/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh
