Sorry to disappoint you, but that wont work for two reasons:
1) make config-recursive is flawed by design, because it makes a dependency
list based on current settings and if you alter dependencies during your
recursive configuring, it will not update the list.
2) If you hit an interactive configure (not config, configure) target, then
you will still end up with a dialog. Prime example: print/ghostscript-gpl.
If you wanted to script the first case, you'd do the following in every origin
that needs updating:
#!/bin/sh
VISITED=
config_port() {
local ldeps rdeps bdeps
ldeps=`make -V LIB_DEPENDS`
rdeps=`make -V RUN_DEPENDS`
bdeps=`make -V BUILD_DEPENDS`
make config-conditional
for dep in ${ldeps} ${rdeps} ${bdeps}; do
dir=${dep##*:}
case ${VISITED} in
*" ${dir}"*)
;;
*)
echo "---> $dir"
VISITED="${VISITED} ${dir}"
cd ${dir}
config_port
esac
done
}
config_port

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
