I agree that someone should write documentation that specifies the syntax
and semantics of Config.in files. I will take responsibility for writing
this file.
I have already started writing a parser. It needs more work though.
<ftp://ftp.shout.net/pub/users/mec/experimental/new-config.diff>
I put this work on the shelf for a while. Regis Duchesne picked up
my work and is continuing it.
I am strongly in favor of a unified parser for menuconfig and xconfig,
I also asked Linus if it would be ok to implement 'make config' with
a C program, and he says it is, provided it doesn't use any special
libraries and doesn't take too long to compile. So we could have a
unified parser for -all- flavors of configuration.
This is going to take a long time. For 2.2, I think we are better
off simply hacking the existing Config.in files.
Cheers,
