Since I didn't see anybody else mention it, one thing SuSe does is
include the current kernel configuration inside the kernel itself, which
you can find at /proc/config.gz.  They have made it as simple as:

cd /usr/src/linux && make cloneconfig

Of course you could also 'zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config'
and work it from there with 'make oldconfig'.
