So an improved config would be still a python file just like it is, but it
would get its variable names from somewhere else
So there would be list to fill in
maybe an interactive shell script and later a GUI
Some of the shell script could query what modules were loaded (to identify TV
card)
or whether a program was installed to write some variables.
To write a TV tuning list the script could ask for a standard channel list
country name (wouldn't help those guys in India) and then ask for the channel
number of your channels and the name of the channel.
I'd be writing these into an intermediate file from which local_conf.py would
get the values.
I'm not the sort of person who can do this writing, only dream of a simpler
setup system.
