Adds descriptive help text to Config.in based on content from elinux.org and
Wikipedia. Notes that http://www.directfb.org/ has been broken for more than
five months and suggests using http://elinux.org/DirectFB instead.

+	  DirectFB (Direct Frame Buffer) is a set of graphics APIs implemented
+	  on top of the Linux Frame Buffer (fbdev) abstraction layer. It is an
+	  alternative to X11 with a smaller memory footprint that still has an
+	  integrated windowing system. As of 4 October 2015, DirectFB's website
+	  http://www.directfb.org/ is down. See alternative site listed below.
