I was inspired by recent change in kernel's kconfig. Masahiro Yamada added tests, which
compare output of various make calls with saved. It's in scripts/kconfig/tests/, using
python's pytest, you can see it by running 'make testconfig'.

Sounds reasonable. I added it into runtest file just to help myself to test. And publish
it just in case anyone wanted to use it for testing the patch.
