Ok.

Can someone comment or fix the new configurator?
Testing is easy by using no config/config.ini (rename)
There might be some more slash and quoting problems.

I have some idea about some improvements for 1.3.12,
but this should be the 1.3.11rc.

The current version produces a lot of commented options, doesn't check 
for defaults (which should be the real cause for a commented option to 
be printed), but at least it's almost complete.

1.3.11 TODO: (or 1.3.12?)
  * fix AUTH_ORDER quotes and file forward slashes
  * commented / optional: non-default values should not be commented!
  *                       default values if optional can be omitted.
  * read config-default.ini to detect optional
  * read existing config-dist.ini into sections, comments, and
  *   optional/required settings

Of course the single page layout is horrible, and should be changed to 
multipage, but we have the same mess in upgrade.
And we should the advantages of dynamic checks for bad options.
