The way I read the original post by Christoph Hellwig - nope.
If the kernel config library is outside the kernel then the
text-mode versions will fail as well.
Recall that the text-mode version are no longer shell scripts,
but based on a nice YACC grammar and coded in C.

I do not want to go somewhere for special tools just to configure
the kernel.
Basic stuff such as make and gcc is ok to locate elsewhere - in
specific versions as well. But not some basic kernel only configurator.
