I was just going by the comments at the bottom of config.inc.php which say:

// If you want to keep most settings at default values and/or want to ensure
// that future updates work without problems, you can use a separate config
// file (config.local.php) instead of editing this file and override some
// settings there.
if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__) . '/config.local.php')) { # for /
     include(dirname(__FILE__) . '/config.local.php');

So should I assume this will not work, is this something that is likely to
be fixed or am I asking the wrong person? I like the idea of not having
my config file overwritten during upgrades but it is not the end of the
earth either.

Thanks for the response.
