[PATCH 14/16] kconfig-allow-override.diff

[Jan Engelhardt]

Allow config variables in .config to override earlier ones in the same
file. In other words,

	# CONFIG_SECURITY is not defined
	CONFIG_SECURITY=y

will activate it. This makes it a bit easier to do

	(cat original-config myconfig myconfig2 ... >.config)

and run menuconfig as expected.
