Yes. I transfer this $1-xen3.1.tgz files to differnet machines, extract them
and then do ./install.sh.
Each having it's own config folder used in the earlier lines.

I don't know. I am not patching my kernels.
However if you just remove the rm -rf at the end, you should be able to do
so.

There is no magic in that script.
Except the knowledge, where to put the old configs...

This is because I am building a range of kernels in a row and I prefer to
have clean directories.
That machine is dedicated for compiling, so I don't care if it takes 30
minutes or one hour.

Some sound reasonable, some I don't know. I am only a beginner for self
compiled kernels...

As for creating different configs: I also have one directory (also extracted
from source), where I do
  make linux-2.6-xen0-config mode=menuconfig
and
  make linux-2.6-xenU-config mode=menuconfig
Loading my old configs as alternative configs and storing them at
alternative locations. (My per-target config folder.)
