[Buildroot] [PATCH RFC] pkg-kconfig: support alternative .config location

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

?ric, All,

On 2016-09-11 19:07 +0200, Eric Le Bihan spake thusly:

I think it would be better to name the variable $(2)_KCONFIG_DOTCONFIG_FILE
or maybe just $(2)_KCONFIG_DOTCONFIG.

Otherwise, the rest of the patch is a mere search-and-replace, so looks
pretty OK.

However, I don't see the point in having that in Buildroot without an
actuall package that uses that. Do you plan in sending such a package
(like xvisor)?
