    kconfig: add merge_config.sh script · 4b5f7214
    john stultz authored
    After noticing almost every distro has their own method of managing config
    fragments, I went looking at some best practices, and wanted to try to
    consolidate some of the different approaches so this fairly simple
    infrastructure can be shared (and new distros/build systems don't have to
    implement yet another config fragment merge script).
    
    This script is most influenced by the Windriver tools used in the Yocto
    Project, reusing some portions found there.
    
    This script merges multiple config fragments, warning on any overridden
    values.  It then sets any unspecified values to their default, then
    finally checks to make sure no specified value was dropped due to
    unsatisfied dependencies.
    
    I'm sure this implementation won't work for everyone, and I expect it will
    need to evolve to adapt for various use cases.  But I think its a
    reasonable starting point.
