This *can* happen. Let me itemize a few things off of my head I think would need to be done as its at least fresh in my head now:
All we need from scripts/Kbuild.include is filechk and kecho (what I have in my scripts/Kbuild.include). This could be moved to scripts/Kbuild.basic, and so would make sync'ing easier.
The scripts/kconfig/Makefile would need a respective modifications to make it work independently, see my scripts/kconfig/Makefile. Perhaps the biggest pain was resolving the target for scripts/kconfig/.mconf-cfg. If somehow we end up with a file which could work for both environments we're set.
Other than this we'd need a simple script, say scripts/copy-kconfig.sh which would copy over only those files I took from scripts/kconfig.
There's a few things to consider for a split copy / demo:
* versioning *is not* part of kconfig * object building *is not* part of kconfig
But the problem I faced was that to demo kconfig I had to use *something* for versioning and object building. The object building is simple, and the versioning scheme was just copied from Linux.
What I ended up with the smallest demo I could come up with.
