Well there's a perfectly good place to start today. Dump out a config file
with the settings your wizard or config tool wants to change from their
current values.

We could come up with a canonical filename for such a file and include an
include directive for it in the standard configuration file or you could just
include instructions saying what include line to add to your config file in
the installation instructions for your tool.

Great, I'm glad we've resolved that issue.
