I forgot to address this point in my last email. oops.

What I do is copy it and make /all/ my changes to config.local. The
only things that are from the main config are the package versions
(IIRC). This is partly so I know my config at a glance, but mainly so
when I create patches I don't have to go digging through diffs removing
customised hunks.

As of SVN 143 (so you'll need to update again) I've moved two functions
out of 'config' completely into 'config.auto' which is run as part of
config after config.local. This should make the config file a bit
better to work with.
