I have a tool that:
- is able to read the local configuration file
- fill any blank with default values provided by the packages
- re-write local file with user's values and enw default values.
The only hitch is that reading and writing file may be tricky since
the syntax of configuration files varies widly from one package to
another.
Would this kind of tool interest you ?
