I think he just wants to tweak one already there and is stuck in
buildconfigs/

Just go to the linux tree that you want, i.e. 

cd linux-2.6.16.33-xen

and type 'make menuconfig' as usual.

The stuff in buildconfigs/ are default configurations, the ones used to
get you this far. Changing them will change how xen builds those kernels
by default, such as on first build or after a make distclean.

Moreover, if you want a kernel you created to be re-created after a make
distclean, its config needs to find its way into buildconfigs/ , named
after the others you see there, one for each platform.

Best thing to do is just make a clone of the mercurial clone :

hg clone xen-3.0.4-unstable xen-3.0.4-sandbox

Then do your playing in sandbox.

Hope this helps.

Best,
