You should probably try copying the .config file that you used with 2.2.17 into the directory where you unpacked 2.2.19, and then run make oldconfig. It looks like make config, but it'll skip over already answered questions and ask you any new ones. After that is done, you can still run make menuconfig and prune whatever you think may be bloat. However, if you unpacked the new kernel in the same directory and already did make mrproper, it probably removed the .config file... -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
