Yeah, that's probably actually a better idea than my one in an
environment where you don't have pervasive version control and
templated config file generation in place, otherwise it would
be too easy for the two files to get out of sync when someone
hand edits one of them - with all the debugging nightmare and
strange effects that would follow.
