That's what he's saying, but you may have to do some manual editing of .config. For instance, if an option is grayed out in make xconfig, you will probably have to edit .config and enable that option, to be able to configure it thru xconfig/menuconfig/config. That's how I configure my kernels; saves much time over re-entering all the configuration stuff. ;)
