I'd tackle this by finding out what version of sendmail.cf you
started with (Id strings?), getting a copy of it and diffing against
your current version. Unfortunately, you're stuck with understanding
the diffs and converting them into m4 commands that you'll add to a
skeleton m4 file.
Bear in mind that the latest sendmail has a lot of spam stuff built
in, so if you don't want it you'll need to disable it and if you
already have spam filters in your existing .cf file you can get rid
of them (maybe).
