Following is a quick patch implmenting this idea.
You need to run gperf manually to enable this.
"gperf -C scripts/kconfig/zconf.gperf > scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c"
I did not figure out how to use the built-in rules to generate this file :-(
I have tested this lightly - as we should discuss if this is a viable way
forward.
For now I used popen() - so return value of the executed program are ignored.
To test this I used:
config FOOBAR
bool
option exec="echo y"
config FOOBAR_SELECTOR
bool
default FOOBAR
Nothing fancy - but it shows the idea.
