The config package interacts with packages now to use a single configuration file that it updates as configuration settings are changed programatically, but it would be good to have it automatically make a new config file populated with all of the default settings. The `config.configs._generate_all_config_items` function does this, but it needs to be hooked into the `setup.py` or some other sort of interfaces that makes this happen in some fairly smart automatic way.
