Summary:                    [patch] dummy-select - a simplified menuselect
replacement
Description: 
When working on Asterisk in a git repository by mirroring the main one with
git-svn, the svn:externals "symbolic links" are difficult to emulate. 
There is a poorly nearly-half-working substitution using git submodules.
But with the changing externals in Asterisk it is not fun to work with.

For that reason I decided I want to replace menuselect with a version that
is as compact as possible and yet has all the functionality I need.

The new version currently only operates in batch mode. It takes
configuration from a simple config file (currently named build_tools/conf)
and generates the usual files menuselect generates. 

See the script for complete documentation.

Also included is a Makefile to provide dummy targets for the menuselect
directory and to generate empty files that menuselect may depend on in the
main makefile.

Known limitation: does not support "conflicts". Adding it would probably
take much extra work (basically: saving a snapshot of the current state on
each new candidate evaluated). And there is currently only one conflict
that doesn't yet bother me personally :-) .

Assigned to Russell as this looks like something he may be able to make a
decision on. If you can't move this forward, please reassign as necessary.
