Hi,

Postings .config files can obviously be a helpful thing. It's also good to
see that some on this list are concerned about vger's load & bandwidth, and
try to compress their files. But gzip + UUE can be difficult to read.

How about having something "official" like the following:

        perl -pe 's/^CONFIG_//;s/^\#.*//;s/\=y$//;s/^\s*$//' .config

It's small, to-the-point, and readable. But possibly not done the Right Way.

$ wc .config
    586 1840 12774 .config
$ perl -pe 's/^CONFIG_//;s/^\#.*//;s/\=y$//;s/^\s*$//' .config | wc
    122 122 1335
