Here is a small module.
It works fine with kernel 2.0.3X. It requires more work to fit
into kernel 2.1.X . It adds a file /proc/config.gz file that
contains the compressed /usr/src/linux/.config.
It enables better testability as developer knows the exact
configuration of the running kernel.

Here is the README file.

---
This directory contains files that enable the kernel to hold
the kernel configuration information file in /proc/config.gz

Supports kernel version 2.0.X
currently only as module.

USAGE:
 load the module using: insmod ./confrep.o
 cat /proc/config.gz | gzip -dc | less

TODO:
1. update to kernel 2.1.X
2. enable as configuration option in the .config file.
3. support static linking into the kernel.
