I had a try at adding it, but doing it properly required changing
too much code and breaking a plugin interface, at least the way I
was doing it.

I thought maybe we should distribute the source *.cfg files, and let
the makefiles generate them after compiling `dat'.  The attached
patch is what I have so far.  The non-Unix makefile is untested.  At
least one thing needs fixing: when cross-compiling you need a native
copy of `dat'.  Unfortunately, compiling it isn't as simple as for
`makedoc'.
