I want to voice my 2 cents...

Having a /proc/config is a good idea.

Having to match static files with a running kernel is a bad
idea...no matter how careful you are, you may make mistakes (assuming
you can find the file).

The solution for /boot/*-${VERSION} is not sufficient when
multiple kernels exists for the same version...

When you need this information, you want ACCURATE infomation, not a guess
(multiple files are a guess).
