My apologies for missing that.  I just now read the note in the README
regarding the creation of new configuration options.

I have been searching for an appropriate location to place the description
of the new configuration option within the README file but have been unable
to settle on one.  Should it go under the section titled "Configuration
Settings:"  This seems like the best place for it although most of the
options listed in this section are of the CONFIG_SYS_ flavor.

Please let me know what you think or if there is a more appropriate place.

Ron
