There's _slightly_ more to it than that if you want to actually get a working environment. (For example, I'm feeding ppc an extra patch and a boot rom, both from Milton Miller. The config is useless without those. I can walk you through the status and reasoning of each platform if you'd like...) I have no objection to people taking the configs I worked out for my purposes and using them for any purpose if they want to do so, but my idea of "working" involves having a hard drive and a network connection (so I can run builds under the emulator using distcc to call out to the cross compiler). It's the minimal functionality _I_ need. I'm just offering it as a starting point, because you specifically mentioned configs for qemu. If you're looking to compare and contrast configurations, possibly a more _useful_ thing would be to convert all the kernel's existing *_defconfig files to *_miniconfig files so you could see what they all _are_. Lemme take a stab at that, actually...
