    Exactly.

    And if CRYPTO_AES would select CRYPTO, you'd have a recursive
    dependency.

    The only possible thing would be to change all dependencies on CRYPTO to
    selects. This wouldn't be unlogical since the whole crypto subsystem is
    only a helper for other subsystems.

    James, any opinions on this issue?
