I already have a patch from Ghozlane Toumi in my inbox that supports: make randconfig answers randomly to the questions . make allyes answers 'yes' to all questions . make allno answers 'no' to all questions . make allmod answer 'm' if avaiable, 'yes' else . Plus you can specify defaults in .force_default which will always be honoured. I have been using it to stress test the 2.4.4 configs and my 2.5 makefile rewrite, it works very nicely.
