Do you have a test case for this?
I want to play a little with this before I submit it.

But that will break UM - no??
See following note from fixdep:
 * Note 2: if somebody writes HELLO_CONFIG_BOOM in a file, it will depend onto
 * CONFIG_BOOM. This could seem a bug (not too hard to fix), but please do not
 * fix it! Some UserModeLinux files (look at arch/um/) call CONFIG_BOOM as
 * UML_CONFIG_BOOM, to avoid conflicts with /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h,
 * through arch/um/include/uml-config.h; this fixdep "bug" makes sure that
 * those files will have correct dependencies.
