Apart from things that may have changed name as a result of bug fixing
or new functionality, the main thing that will differ is the version
numbers in the cdl_configuration section at the front. Change those to
"current" and you should be OK.

ecosconfig doesn't really allow you to do that. Fine-grained changes
are meant to be done by editing the .ecc file.

Personally, for common config options I have a set of one or two entry
import files and an shell script to apply them. I seldom need to
explicitly edit the .ecc file.

The export file will usually contains any changes that the inference
engine has made on your behalf, plus a few other things. However, an
export file is probably the best way of moving a configuration from
one version of eCos to another since there will be less to edit. Once
you have the file sorted out you can then use it to reproduce the
configuration in future. You could even make it into a template if you
want.
