I am planning to approach this from a different angle -- first write
a unified parser for the existing grammar; then write back ends to
replace all the existing back ends; then write a new parser for a
new grammar and replace all the Config.in files at that time
(there are only about 3000 lines of them but they are spread out
over multiple architectures which makes co-ordinating the patches
harder).
I think this is ungainly, but not terminally broken:
if [ "$ARCH" = "sparc" -o "$ARCH" = "i386" ]; then
bool "has a fnord device" Y
fi
