Possibly something like:

So taking xorg-server as an example this would become:

video_driver:fbdev video_driver:vesa ] ]]
( kdrive platform:x86 video_driver:sis ) [[ requires = [

( xfake ) [[ requires = [ kdrive ] ]]
( xfbdev ) [[ requires = [ kdrive ] ]]
( xsdl ) [[ requires = [ kdrive ] ]]

Wouldn't it be possible to simplify that a bit. For example
MYOPTIONS+="
(
(
kdrive & platform:x86 & video_driver:ati
kdrive & platform:x86 & video_driver:sis
kdrive & platform:x86 & video_driver:siliconmotion
) [[ requires = [ video_driver:fbdev ] ]]
kdrive & platform:x86 & video_driver:chips
[...]
kdrive & platform:x86 & video_driver:via
) [[ requires = [ video_driver:vesa ] ]]
"
Plus, I don't really like defining that in MYOPTIONS, because it makes
it harder to see which options are defined and which are missing and
moving it to DEPENDENCIES would allow grouped opition definitions, like
platform:(amd64,x86) or video_driver:(ati,sis,siliconmotion) etc. which
makes it much more readable, in my opinion. (It shouldn't be a problem
to use that exact syntax in DEPENDENCIES.)
