Following is a quick patch implmenting this idea.
You need to run gperf manually to enable this.

"gperf -C scripts/kconfig/zconf.gperf > scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c"

I did not figure out how to use the built-in rules to generate this file :-(

I have tested this lightly - as we should discuss if this is a viable way forward.
For now I used popen() - so return value of the executed program are ignored.

To test this I used:

config FOOBAR
bool
option exec="echo y"

config FOOBAR_SELECTOR
bool
default FOOBAR

Nothing fancy - but it shows the idea.
