I am going to have to try this.
One more thing I would like would be a tag for the .config that would
indicate if something is boolean, tristate, or other, i.e.
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y #tristate ... or #(n/y/m)
I try to build everything as modules, and sometimes something I have Y can
become M and it is hard to find. Since I now have initrd/romfs, the only
modules that aren't are the ramdisk and the romfs drivers. I could grep
for "[yn] #tri" to find new ones.
Earlier I adjusted lots of things to make it upper/lower case depending on
whether it could be modular.
