If "select" cannot be fixed or is not en vogue for any other reason, the
configuration tools need to be improved otherwise, so that users are
guided to options like USB_STORAGE and IEEE1394_SBP2 when SCSI or other
"foreign" options were disabled.
An easy but crude fix would be to add an according hint at the help text
of the immediately superordinate config option. E.g. at IEEE1394: "Also
enable SCSI support to be able to switch on SBP-2 support (IEEE 1394
protocol e.g. for storage devices)." But this is extremely ugly /1./
because it would litter help texts of generic options with redundant
information about specific options and /2./ because it requires users to
find and read help texts in order to convince the configurator to make
options visible.
