this is a long-term suggestion, but the easiest solution might be to introduce a new kbuild directive: "selectablemenu" or something like that, with a form similar to:
================= selectablemenu ISDN bool "ISDN support"
config ... config ... config ...
endmenu =================
the top level entry would be just a yes/no toggle as to whether you want that support in general, and the internal entries would represent the submenu and all of them would *automatically* depend on the top config entry (in this case, ISDN). and the "help" entry could be available from that top-level entry without having to enter the submenu. as opposed to what you need to do now.
i'm guessing that structure would be sufficient for 90% of the current menu layouts. just a thought.
