It was really "select what boards you need" and "select any additional
-device-capable devices you need".  So the covered devices were
basically ISA, PCI, USB and I2C.  Other files (e.g. scsi-bus.c or sd.c)
were picked up via dependencies so they could still be left out unless
necessary.

The final plan was to keep the default-configs/ files, and add
dependency-handling via the Kconfig language but without Kconfig sources
itself.  Akos, did you go any further with your mini_kconfig.py parser?
