Sorry.. your comparison {menuconfig, htop} raises an "incompatible
pointer passed" on my side. Please explain :)

Indeed there is/was a patch. Well, the one I sent last time.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/18/206

I have updated it to Linus's current treetop.
git://computergmbh.de/linux 'kconfig' branch;

commit da9389c3e640f9ee261865beb6b9861fe5b30b78

    kconfig: allow overriding symbols
    
    Allow config variables in .config to override earlier ones in the same
    file. In other words,
    
        # CONFIG_SECURITY is not defined
        CONFIG_SECURITY=y
    
    will activate it. This makes it a bit easier to do
    
        cat original-config myconfig myconfig2 ... >.config;
    
    and run *config as expected.
