As I started testing this approach with debian, I discovered that
the parser crate, nom-kconfig, isn't available in the debian registry. I
will bring this up with the developer of that library. However, it may
take some time to be packaged and made available to users, so I will
soon submit RFC v3 using crates.io for dependency download, but outside
of make, as previously discussed.
