Summary:                    menuselect fails to resolve dependencies
Description: 
##  Expected:
##############

./configure
make
# dang! I really don't want FEATUREXYZ support
./configure --without-xyz
make


## In practice:
#################
make
# dang! I really don't want FEATUREXYZ support
./configure --without-xyz
make


Results in:

menuselect/menuselect --check-deps   menuselect.makeopts

***********************************************************
  The existing menuselect.makeopts file did not specify    
  that 'chan_h323' should not be included.  However, either some  
  dependencies for this module were not found or a         
  conflict exists.                                         
                                                           
  Either run 'make menuselect' or remove the existing      
  menuselect.makeopts file to resolve this issue.          
***********************************************************

make: *** [menuselect.makeopts] Error 255


If menuselect is smart enough to resolve dependencies, it should be able
to fix them without bothering me.

I do not consider this a bug.  What you are demonstrating here is a
situation where there is an existing "menuselect.makeopts" file that
indicates that chan_h323 should be built.  However, after re-running the
configure script to make it ignore certain libraries on the system, it can
no longer be built.  I think this is an acceptable situation to ask for
user intervention.  It would obviously be very easy to just ignore the
situation and generate a new menuselect.makeopts file, but it is done this
way to make it obvious to the user what is going on.
