Why the duplicate configration?

lh_config generates a bunch of config files. By creating your own
configuration file you're merely creating an extra layer to get
information through. What does thing extra layer give you?

Can you try to parse the information from the config directory?
Maybe thr right way to do that is through the shell. See the following
perl code that uses 'env -i sh -ec' to get a shell process to parse
shell variables.

A sample program that uses it:
