I used freenet.node.Main --config to create a freenet.conf file just now.  
This is with freenet-0.5.0.3.  I few bugments:

1)  These options should be created in the config file but aren't.  Even if 
they are %'d out atleast a config-savy newbie would know they exist.
mainport.port
mainport.bindAddress
mainport.allowedHosts

(Actually I don't know if you need bindAddress or not, people on the support 
list say you do.  What's the difference between bindAddress and 
allowedHosts?)

In addition, it would be nice if it asked you for the mainport.allowedHosts 
(possibly also mainport.port and mainport.bindAddress) just as it does for 
fcpHosts in --config routine.  I would imagine it's atleast as common to be 
accessing fproxy from another machine as it would be accessing fred via FCP.

3) When run on *nix, the config asks you about the windows installer and the 
distribution. stuff.  This is windows only right?  Doesn't the windows 
installer do this for you?  Shouldn't these questions be removed from the 
--config routine?

4) It would be really nice if storeSize could be specified in Megs or Gigs in 
addition to straight bytes.  e.g. The user could type 400M or 800M or 1G or 
6G or whatever.

I'm not being a complainer and I realize that none of these are necessarily 
high priority, but these are what I noticed after doing a new config for the 
first time in a while.
