I have a discovered a way to store the configuration, which only requires 16 bytes (32 if stored in ascii). This could be appended to the output of 'uname -v'
$ sed -n 's/CONFIG_\(.*\)=y/\1/p' .config | md5sum 6d1565d41a236978dfc1622d9e00fb3b
I must admit, I haven't developed the program to reverse the operation :-)
