I do not know why having the name "config.h" is important, but I do know
why calling it something else, less prone to confusion with a generic header
name, is important.

Depending on your system, there are lots of carelessly installed header
files named config.h out there.  I didn't think (and I still do not
think) it was good engineering not to avoid the (potential) clash.  I've
run into enough careless header file name clashes and macro name clashes
to instinctly avoid them -- because they are formidable sources of
headache and I find headaches unamusing.

Of course, your milage may vary.
