If suitably bribed, Stephen will add you tree directly to the linux-nxt
lineup.

Yep, we always needed another kconfig maintainer (Sam's being mostly
busy with kbuild), and it's nice to see that Steve volunteered for
that job now! ;-)

Sure why not?
I've created a new repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-kconfig.git
and the same changes are in the branch: for-next
I still need to do the testing.

Cool!
I'm wondering, what do you think about Vegard's 'warn about complex
selects' feature for kconfig which he submitted some time ago:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/4/13
That's a really sore kconfig spot we have. It's not a bug, but it
sure bites people again and again, and it would be nice to have some
built-in mechanism that gently nudges us away from complex selects.
(many of which are inadvertent or become complex after the fact)

I'll take a look at that too. We need to be careful about kicking out too
many warnings. Perhaps a "make configcheck" is in order that will do
various checks. This is very similar to my check for select dependency
error patch:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/21/2
I may take a look at getting both of these in (or a merge of the two).
