Not really what you want, but somebody thought of something similar. Since
Linux 2.6.32 you can do:
make localmodconfig [1].
That will take the output of lsmod (so you need an already running kernel,
e.g., from a live CD) and remove all unnecessary modules from the existing
kernel .config.
[1]: see http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_32, section 1.8.
