Being a total newbie to Linux I may be talking complete *!^% but here

this would work, copy the original .config file from the /boot directory

file manually setting the value to "=y" or "=m" as appropriate. Re
compile with the new (old) config file and keep everything crossed.
I have absolutely no idea whether this will work but I would be
interested to know :-). Please dont blame me if this breaks anything,
and if anyone with any experience can step in to save some time and/or
pain please do.

Actually it does work. You can copy a .config over to the new kernel
source directory, and run "make oldconfig". It will then ask you what
you want to do for any new options that weren't in your previous kernel,
and keep everything else the same.
