Supporting multiple SYSPTFs sanity check

I'm finding myself supporting multiple projects with different SYSPTFs since the NiosII and uClinux is so slick. 

 

I just want to make sure I've figured out how to BEST do this: 

 

This is what I'm thinking I should do: 

 

1. When I do a "make menuconfig" under "General Setup"  

[*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support  

(../romfsFDR ../vendors/Altera/nios2/romfs_list) Initramfs source file(s)  

 

I create a new "romfs" directory with a different name and put the corresponding directories there. (here - romfsFDR 

 

2. When I save the configuration I save it as an alternate name. 

 

I can also create a different "romfs_list" name 

 

And I just have to keep track of my zImage. 

 

Is that reasonable? Did I miss anything? 

 

Thanks in advance.

For multiple projects you can use multiple directories below "vendor". "make menuconfig" allows to select them.
