[OpenWrt-Devel] what's the rationale for mixed quotes in Config.in help?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  if i wanted to add some help info to some Config.in entries, what's
the deal with the strange mixture of back quotes and single quotes
around some names?  for example, in toolchain/eglibc/config/Config.in:

... snip ...
        select EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_INET
        help
          This option group includes the `libanl' library which
                                         ^^^^^^^^
          provides support for asynchronous name lookup.


config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_LIBM
        bool "libm (math library)"
        default y
        help
          This option group includes the 'libm' library, containing
                                         ^^^^^^
... snip ...

  it seems like there's quite a bit of a leading *back* quote, then
then name, then a closing regular single quote, but even *that* is not
consistent, as you can see above. is there a standard? and why the bck
quotes, anyway?
