Btw, it might be lovely to consider the concept of "Kconfig variables
set by shell-scripts".

We currently have a metric sh*t-ton of Makefile magic for testing
various things like this, and integrating it into Kconfig might be a
good idea. That way you would be able to use the Kconfig logic on
these things.

Kconfig already has the "option env=XYZ" syntax for importing values
from the environment variables. Extending it to some kind of "option
shell=xyz" would allow for more complex interactions like this
(imagine testing compiler options and version dependencies in the
Kconfig files instead of the Makefiles)?
