An environment variable is a good compromise (I called it 
KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG). Another alternative is to allow overriding the 
.config name via KCONFIG_CONFIG, so you shouldn't need a symlink at all 
anymore.
Lightly tested patch below.

What creates/updates the symlink and what does update the file the symlink 
points to?
