+1 for that, and just about every other config file.  The biggest hassle
with upgrades at the moment IMHO is merging existing customised config
files into the newly distributed ones, particularly when there's been
format/syntax changes or rearrangements of the layout of the distributed
files.  And if the reading/parsing process could ignore any individual
local files that are incorrectly formatted (with appropriate whinging in
the logs/UI), that's even better.

I know, I know, I should just write the code.  Wish I had the time.....
