We've been talking about this as well.. I'm currently of the opinion that the
kernel's config fragement processing be added to busybox. This way someone can
simply add a configuration fragment via a bbappend, or other approach and it'll
pick it up. That same can be used to specify how to enable other optional
pieces of busybox.
