It's in the kernel docs:
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/smart-config.txt
Our current config infrastructure has copied part of that, but not all of it.
I just submitted an improved miniconfig patch to linux-kernel, and my next
task is to resync the busybox config stuff with the current kernel .config
stuff. Rewriting the dependency checking comes after that, but _also_ after
finishing my mke2fs/gene2fs/tune2fs/chattr rewrite (but I'm not touching
e2fsck right now) and bbsh, and finishing up the sed nul fix and the passwd
thing. _Then_ I can worry about taking on a new project. (Which will
probably be a rewrite of fdisk, but oh well. And then I've got to untangle
the archiver shared infrastructure, add cpio creation and maybe mkisofs, dig
up the old bzip2 rewrite I did... Oh, and tackle the TODO list...)
