That's the "base one", which is copied to your "linux-2.6.18-xen" where
your kernel is built. 

I find the best way to do menuconfig changes is to first do a build,
then do make menuconfig on the kernel (in practice, I always end up
doing so, because I almost always forget to build the right bits, so I
have to add something after I tried to boot the broken kernel... :-( )

Note: "make world" will re-instate the original .config, so don't do
that after you've configured your kernel. If you want to remake
everything, do "make clean all".
