Kernel option dependencies

How can I determine kernel option dependencies on other kernel optionst? e.g. If I add/remove option <foo> from my kernel config file, how can I determine what other kernel options depend on it?

I'm trying to be more precise that just guessing based on names of options in the GENERIC kernel config when dealing with missing file/symbol errors generated by the make'ing the kernel.

Reading the man pages and some trail and error. There's no checking being done when the build starts, so you only find out you're missing something when the build fails.
