Well, that's why it's called a WIP :)
Also Thomas P. told me he has done something about it so i would just be
reinventing the wheel.
And if it's just a rename it's a pretty simple "find . -type f -exec sed
-i -e "s/BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB/BR2_SOMETHING/" {} \;" with some hand
editing of toplevel Config.in to adjust the description as well.
