I'd favor the latter, e.g. by adding something like

cfg-create := $(shell touch $(XEN_ROOT)/.config)

to ./Config.mk, or putting the include in a conditional instead
of making use of -include. It seems to me that "-include" doing a
default directory search just like "include" does wasn't the best
behavioral decision by the make authors - if one really wants to
include nothing, one just cannot use this to avoid the conditional
(which is what so far I thought was the main advantage of the
"-" prefix).
