Right. But with the following constraints:

   make oldconfig takes _any_ .config from _any_ kernel and builds a
   new one for _this_ kernel asking any remaining questions
   
   make xconfig, make menuconfig, make config take a .config from
   _this_ kernel and configure for _this_ kernel

   if they don't find and .config, then they fall back to
   $(ARCH)/defconfig


Would be nice, if CML2 works like this too, because it's not nice
to go through all the options again, if I install a new kernel or
just want to change my current kernel config add a module.

But your CML2 is sure great work.
