correlating module names and config options

[John Aspinall]

I'm building my first kernels from sources, and I'm comparing the result 
with the kernel as shipped with typical major distro.  The 
"distro-kernel" is loaded with every possible option built as a module. 
 (Not at all surprising, since they need to install on all kinds of 
hardware.)  But this brings up the following question:

I run lsmod in my distro-kernel to find the modules I actually need on 
this particular hardware.  But how do I establish the relationship 
between the module name, and the configuration option I should choose 
when doing 'make config' or 'make xconfig'?  The correspondence is not 
always obvious.
