I talk to myself often, forgot to include something.

I want to add a 'test' or 'Test' in this case. The mini library has the
ability to write a new (perhaps known working) configuration.

So, stock configuration could contain 'test' for many options, upon
first run a system appropriate configuration can be generated without
invoking a test suite.

Since test suites are not commonly packaged with binary packages, this
might solve some problems for people.

I.e.

use_ssl = test

If nothing else is talking to port 443 (or xxx) and if someone bothered
to give the location of a pem encoded cert (which should be generated on
installation) .. after the first run, use_ssl would become true.


Cheers,
