It's often tedious for other cases too ("I just want to enable a 
particular driver, what do I need to do so?"), and I do agree with Daniel 
that the SAT solver approach sounds interesting as a way to solve some of 
the complexities.

At the same time, "SAT solver" does scream "over-engineering failure" to 
me. We've had horribly bad experiences with over-engineering in that space 
before. Yes, I know about MiniSAT and that these things can be done 
without necessarily huge amounts of complex code, but these things tend to 
grow to huge monsters.

Who knows.
