From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
Subject: Add ``cloneconfig'' target
Patch-mainline: Submitted 24 Feb 2011

Cloneconfig takes the first configuration it finds which appears
to belong to the running kernel, and configures the kernel sources
to match this configuration as closely as possible.
