Oh, I know *how* to do it, and that it is documented (which is how I
figured it out in the first place).

My point is that this is somewhat unexpected behavior:  most programs
supply a basic, working default configuration.  Given that gmond can,
in theory, run without any changes to the .conf file, there's all the
more reason to provide a default file.  It isn't like running 'gmond
-t' during 'make' is difficult.
