Why not indeed? Since the "main" usefullness of this is to
make autoconfig (or whatever)
it could certainly:
autoconfig:
[ -f "/proc/config.gz" ] && gzip -dc /proc/config.sz | ....
# The next simplest thing to do is code the config as a 2bit-map
# (presumably of yes,no,module,don't know) according to some standard.
And of course remove the CONFIG_ redundancies. As long as we control what
decompresses and parses the contents, we can do almost anything.
