I would consider it more ugly to special case this and that in the
kconfig code when plain dependencies already offer exactly the same
functionality...

well, this is the *third* time i've proposed adding this kind of
feature so, at this point, i've really given up caring about it.  if
someone wants to do this, have at it.  i have better things to do than
to keep suggesting it and getting nowhere with it.

For better or worse, it can often be observed that feature requests
don't set anything in motion until a first patch is sent.  Even a
patch that is far from perfect can get things going really quickly.
(If the requested feature makes sense to other people.)

i *did* submit a preliminary patch once upon a time, and it
(predictably) went nowhere.  so, if someone else wants to pick this up
and do something with it, you have my blessing.  life's too short to
keep wasting time on this.

I think that Stefan means a patch to the kconfig source code,
not the the Kconfig files.  Good luck.  I'd still like to see it.
