Hi folks,

the whole build seems to be very complex.

Not just the huge configure.in, but also the complexity in moz.build
files, many ifdef's, etc, etc. Many orthogonal things are twisted
together (eg. widget toolkits influence lots of other things)

I'm thinking of having a deeper look at Kbuild. It's really nice to
handle complex dependencies. In the kernel we also use that for
automatically switch hidden settings by higher level ones
(eg. combination of a and b can activate c, certain things automatically
happen based on platform/cpu type, etc, etc.

Could it be an option for moz ?
