This is IMHO an excellent example how it could be done.
In the kernel hierachy you might enter:
'make config'
'make menuconfig'
'make xconfig'
Every time you get a folding editor like choice. You might use plain tty,
ncurses or even tcl/tk. All these mathods are based on the same data, so
that driver developers may provide a single file with the help info etc.
I do think you know how it is working...

Yes, a very good point. I am offering a host for a mailing list.
We should first figure out how it should work and implement it
afterwards. There is definetelly a need for a improved dselect.
Actually why is the maintainer so silent?
Is dselect still maintained?
