A really useful patch makes all the options appeared in /proc/config.gz. It's used by SuSE kernels among others (mine, too :) You can find the patch on kernelnewbies.org (don't remember where exactly)
zgrep CONFIG_PROC /proc/config.gz will give you the answer.
I have absolutely no clue why such a useful things is not integrated into the kernel yet. It's even useful for such things as "build a kernel using the same options as I have on current kernel but I don't know where my .config is".
FWICS It seems harmful to me.
