Second this. That would be great. I dropped the size by 90% for a
time by eliminating unneeded functionality, then some change came along
that made my config file unstable, and I couldn't get back. This seems
to be a problem generally, that there is a lot of dependency between
options that isn't clear. A tool to create a "custom" kernel would be
excellent. I suspect it would be a lot of work to create and maintain
though, especially at the rate the kernel changes.
