Hi,
 there is the feature of the kernel (optionally) containing the config 
data.

you can do 
gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | grep some_expression

as a shell command to find out what the kernel can do...

I suspect that having the kernel containing the config data is quite 
common - suse 10.1 does it.
