Hi Brendan,
Yes, that's a great idea. It reminds me about the eCos configurator
configtool developed by the Cygnus Solutions developers, which had such
a capability. One could manually create a partial specification and ask
it to complete the configuration. We should be able to create such a
support soon.
We've just created the final set of patches, with the requested changes
(also some small naming change in the fix generation to avoid
confusion). Ole is sending them in.
Best, Thorsten

Would it be easy enough to provide this support as a standalone binary that can
be called from scripts/config too?
I suspect this begs more the question of how could this be useful
outside of xconfig.
I was thinking of something like like this:
$ scripts/sat_config --interactive --enable KVM_AMD
This would then prompt the user with a range of solutions for getting
KVM_AMD enabled.
Then there might be an "I'm feeling lucky" variant like:
$ scripts/sat_config --first-solution --enable KVM_AMD
Where instead of prompting the user it just picks some arbitrary or
"minimal" set of changes that leads to KVM_AMD being enabled.
But one step at a time, this can be done *after*
this initial patch set gets merged,
Totally, please consider this a "yes, and" not a "but".
