Subject: correlating module names and config options

I'm building my first kernels from sources, and I'm comparing the result
with the kernel as shipped with typical major distro. The
"distro-kernel" is loaded with every possible option built as a module.
(Not at all surprising, since they need to install on all kinds of
hardware.) But this brings up the following question:
I run lsmod in my distro-kernel to find the modules I actually need on
this particular hardware. But how do I establish the relationship
between the module name, and the configuration option I should choose
when doing 'make config' or 'make xconfig'? The correspondence is not
always obvious.
