I'm learning if there are any projects which have taken on the task of
automatically generating a kernel .config for you. I tend to hop
around machines and the routine of checking lspci, etc tends to drag
on and become more of a chore. Sometimes I just get lazy and use a
distribution's .config but that obviously is a waste of time. So I
have done some quick digging and found some effort circa 2005 by Ahmad
[1] and then Takashi's bash script [2]. Curious if there any others.

This question keeps seems to be recuring: http://tinyurl.com/clux2h .
As for new scripts, this one seems pretty good but was mentioned later
in the LKML thread you linked: http://cateee.net/autokernconf/ .
(So a small list seems to be diet-kconfig, autokernconf and the helper
script in the Linux Kernel in a Nutshell book).
