I liked my proposal better - but alas that require some kconfig changes.
I would be glad to receive your opinion on the suggested changes before
putting too much time on it.
Note: I have not touced upon the "how do external projects build kconfig".
I dunno yet what to do there and I consider the other topics more relevant
as this will help existing users that have already solved the build stuff.
