This is an example of a minimalist kernel config script using what I call
"subtractive synthesis", rather than the additive synthesis method of
make config and friends. This generates white-noise and then you filter
it, rather than painstakingly constructing your timbre one sinewave at a
time. Kinda. This example is for MCA-related pink noise, so to speak.
I think this may be related in a degenerate-case way to declarative
programming.
This leaves a lot to the user. It is based on the idea that hopefully
people with hardware with configuration interdependancies will be somewhat
cognizant of them.
I think this is close to a minimum for something that can generate any
desired config. I may have broken this somewhat tweaking it a bit to post,
but It's pretty handy when it works.
This is hereby public-domain-ified.

# Assuming you are seeing this via the cqdconfig script, what you do
# now is uncomment (remove the leftmost # from) the kernel options you
# want. Nothing is on now. The variables that are activated by you
# in here are then asserted as kernel sourcecode, and the
# kernel will be built accordingly. Variables can be =y or completely
# unset, and module options can also be m. If an option in here is =y you
# just have to uncomment it to assert it. If it's =ym you have to decide
# if you want it as a module or in the base kernel and pick y or m, IF you
# enable modules, and want that option. These options are additive.
# You can for example build a useless x86 kernel with just CONFIG_M386 and
# maybe a memsize option. In a useful kernel there may be some option
# interdependancies. Your only automated check on them with this
# non-rigorous config method is compiling and running the result. Most
# things that aren't non-interdependant single options will probably be
# known to people that have them. If you have problems use make config ,
# or read Documentation/Configuration.help.
#
# The cqdconfig script that generated this file is part of your
# configuration options in and of itself. You can
# tweak it to not include any options here that you're not interested in
# if you have a working knowledge of regular expression match patterns.
# see regex. All that really matters is that the end result be valid. You
# are actually modifying the kernel code when you edit this file, to
# stretch a point a bit, but if you don't use modules, and you don't mind
# an enormous list of options, all you have to know about shell scripting
# is that "#" starts a comment.
