It should really help get a minimal config as well. What information does localmodconfig need? A list of config options and their computed dependencies and a flag for each option if it has prompt, anything else? So a scripts/kconfig/conf --dump-kconfig that would produce such flat list should suffice, without the complexity of having to build a perl binding first (and would be usable from bash/awk/python scripts as well). What do you think?
