You should probably try copying the .config file that you used with 2.2.17
into the directory where you unpacked 2.2.19, and then run make oldconfig.
It looks like make config, but it'll skip over already answered questions
and ask you any new ones. After that is done, you can still run make
menuconfig and prune whatever you think may be bloat.
However, if you unpacked the new kernel in the same directory and already
did make mrproper, it probably removed the .config file...
