OK, this all seems very fun and all but wouldn't making the kernel
recompile an automatic process solve the whole kit'n'kabootle?

I haven't tried this but 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kautoconfigure/

looks seriously promising, especially as I read somewhere that it may be
included into 2.5.x and future kernels

If this has been considered and discarded for reasons I don't know about
please disregard this message ;)
