From 93449082e905ce73d0346d617dd67c4b668b58af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Zippel Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 04:50:54 +0100 Subject: kconfig: environment symbol support Add the possibility to import a value from the environment into kconfig via the option syntax. Beside flexibility this has the advantage providing proper dependencies. Documented the options syntax.
