Can you clarify a bit more why this is needed? For a static build, the
cfgfile should be linked in to the after the PMDs, so the dependencies
in the driver should be satisfied in the link. For a dynamic build, the
PMD should depend upon the cfgfile directly, and use it at runtime
appropriately. 
Am I missing something?
