Turns out ConfigParser handles this just fine -- and it was already
trying to interpolate anything with a % in there. We can just drive it
-- sample patch attached.

SafeConfigParser, OTOH, is stricter and chokes up on some of our
values that contain %d .

If we don't want any interpolation (it was a surprise to me that
ConfigParser interpolates by default) -- we may need to get() the raw
values instead.

cheers,
