I have kernel configuration files (e.g., a custom GENERIC) under RCS. For 
example:

==============
# $Revision: 1.1$

cpu             HAMMER
ident           GENERIC
==============

I want to add that "1.1" to the end of GENERIC such that it becomes:

==============
# $Revision: 1.1$

cpu             HAMMER
ident           GENERIC-1.1
=============


Therefore, a uname -i becomes:

btw> uname -i
GENERIC-1.1


My goal is to provide a mechanism where I can identify that kernels built 
on a group of machines are running the same kernel built from a 
configuration under RCS.

How can I customized the current config and build mechanisms to accomplish
this? Is there some other way to accomplish this? Is it a dumb idea?
