Do you have scripts or tools that you did this with, or is a manual
process.  We're about to add several new (ARM) targets, and it'd be
nice to be able to make small defconfigs for those targets as well.

Uwe posted it earlier in this thread as an attachement, and I put the
python script into the merge commit message too. And we should
probably put it somewhere in scripts too, and/or make a 'make' target
to create the small config files.

I pushed it all out, and tagged it as -rc5.

Got it, thanks.  I just pulled a bit soon.

It seems a bit brute force, probably not something I can make part of
our regular build process, but I can definitely run it before sending
patches out.

I wonder if there's a more efficient way of doing it that doesn't
involve invoking make for each line of the file.  It at least
shouldn't be necessary to actually build the kernel each time.

I'm sure that some clever people will come up with a better script 
eventually.  Maybe this could even be generated by scripts/kconfig/conf 
directly.
