Readback of configuration bitstream

Hello everyone, I need to know if there is some way to readback the entire configuration bitstream of a Cyclone IV FPGA, so that it can be compared bit by bit with the reference bitstream store...

You can read back the configuration memory, but not the FPGA internal SRAM content. Some FPGA vendors are offering this option, Altera apparently never did (according to the documented device properties).
