well really the only two things we can do are sed the config then run `yes '' 
|
make oldconfig` (probably do a sanity check at that point to make sure its 
still
enabled) or pass it on the makefile command line `make CONFIG_UNIX=y` on every
call to the makefile in the linux spell (could be done with a variable).

Also each spell requiring the subdepends will have to check if the config 
option
is there then potentially optionally either build it in or as a kernel module.
The off option should also be available but is a lot simpler to sed.

Finally, I would recommend only doing this with the linux spell itself if 
users
roll their own kernel there will have to be some sort of panic message saying
what kernel option you should enable for the package to work. This will also
have to be on a per package basis (there could be some sort of kernel config
incompatibility message function in FUNCTIONS for spells to call if they like)
this is due to sorcery's implementation of sub depends.

Might I mention as well this is a perfect growth opportunity for someone to
audit the linux spell while they implement this functionality ;).
