Options that are set to Automatic are not in the configuation, because it
is up to the code to work them out. For example, if the 'Path to httpd.conf file'
option is set to automatic, then the code should read the file
$config{'httpd_dir'}/etc/httpd.conf instead. Unfortunately, this relative path
is hard-coded rather than being in a config file somewhere :(
