Oh, I definitely agree.

What exactly are you looking for? Are you looking for just a KConfig
type of mechanism, or a full KBuild implementation. In a previous life,
I ported both to an embedded RTOS build. I think it might be simpler to
just start with a KConfig mechanism, though. If you want, I can take a
swing at starting down that path.
