A-propos, "testing Kconfig" I recommended to take into account the
script of Alexander.
In PM we discussed on where to place such scripts and that Alexander's
patch needs some refreshing in your eyes.
Maybe, Alexander can/will help as he is the original author.
As said, this script helped in the Freetz router project to eliminate
dozens of (logically) wrong Kconfig settings.
IMHO there exist a lot of more, as there are "double/triple" checks in
the Freetz-buildsystem, but hey noone is perfect :-).
