Basically, when you patch in a new kernel version, it screams through your
.config, and throws up any new kernel options (i.e. ones that aren't in your
.config). make config-like interface, but this does fine between kernel
versions and is IMHO the best option if you want to just go up a version and
see what new CONFIG_ options there are.
