I once saw a research OS with a configuration utility based on xconfig.

It showed the dependencies for each config option next to them, sort of like
LEDs so you could see the deps, and even click on them to change them.

For example...

--------------------------------------------------------------
| FAT filesystem |
--------------------------------------------------------------
| VFAT filesystem O FAT |
--------------------------------------------------------------
| MSDOS filesystem O FAT |
--------------------------------------------------------------
| UMSDOS filesystem O MSDOS O EXPERIMENTAL |
--------------------------------------------------------------
