What about the following solution (the names and help texts for the
config options might not be optimal, I hope you understand the
intention):

config IPV6_SUPPORT
	bool "IPv6 support"

config IPV6_ENABLE
	tristate "enable IPv6"
	depends on IPV6_SUPPORT

IPV6_SUPPORT changes structs etc. and IPV6_ENABLE is responsible for 
ipv6.o .
Humm, and the idea is? This seems confusing, could you elaborate on why such
scheme is a good thing?
I think the idea is totally broken.  At first, Adrian comments that
changing the layout of structs based upon a config option is broken,
then he proposes a config option that does nothing except change the
layout of structures.

The current situation is perfectly fine.
