Yes, but what kind of configuration do you want to make there ? Some
configuration options are probably never changed by the user and could
be put in the common system rc file, but it would need to be eval'd at
the end of the user cabotrc since you can't interpolate variable that
are not yet defined (I'm thinking of $CONFIG{'sendoutdir'} for
example).

I don't like the idea of having the version in a conffile too, but I
don't know how to do it with autotools.

I'd like to upload a debian package based on r115. Would you rather
like me to wait for some more fix (like the version issue) ?
