I use this script for keeping an uptodate config file. LABITZKE is my own
config file. Perhaps not the best solution, but it works fine for me. I
frequently check the complete config for new drivers I can disable,
because I don't use them, in addition to checking for any patch-problems
that got appended to the file.


cp LABITZKE LABITZKE.old
cp GENERIC LABITZKE
diff --minimal -bBd GENERIC.old LABITZKE.old >.diff
echo >LABITZKE.rej
patch LABITZKE .diff
cat LABITZKE.rej >>LABITZKE
vi LABITZKE
cp GENERIC GENERIC.old
config LABITZKE

After that I start make depend and make by hand. 

Bye, Bjoern
