Several people found this useful, none opposed (afaik).

Saves kernel version in .config file, e.g.:

#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.8-rc3
# Tue Aug 3 22:55:57 2004
#

Please merge.

Save kernel version info and date when writing .config file.
Tested with 'make {menuconfig|xconfig|gconfig}'.

I don't see "oldconfig" here, I'm sure there are people who don't care because they want to roll every kernel fresh, but for the rest of us...
