(BI've done a bit of searching and found that it's not the
(Bage of the hyperref.cfg  file that matters.
(B
(BOn my system --- MacOS X, but that's not really relevant ---
(Bthere are two of them, as follows.
(B
(BThis one works, and is the default:
(B
(B[GlenLivet:]% more  
(B/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/texlive/hyperref.cfg
(B\ProvidesFile{hyperref.cfg}%
(B   [2001/06/04 v1.0 hyperref configuration of TeXLive]
(B[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
(B}}
(B[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
(B}}
(B\endinput
(B
(B
(BThis one is later, but isn't being used:
(B
(B[GlenLivet:]% more /usr/TeX/texmf/tex/latex/texlive/hyperref.cfg
(B\ProvidesFile{hyperref.cfg}%
(B   [2002/06/06 v1.2 hyperref configuration of TeXLive]
(B% Change default driver to "dvips" instead of "hypertex",
(B% requires hyperref 2002/06/05 v6.72s
(B[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(B\endinput
(B
(B
(BNote that both of these have come from TeXLive distributions,
(Bwhich may be slightly different to the teTeX distributed
(Bby  fink .
(B
(B
(BSince hyperref.sty  contains coding to work out which driver is
(Bcorrect, given just the hint of the kind of engine being used,
(Bthen the older  2001  version is preferred.
(BThe  2002  version is just setting a bad default of  'hdvips'
(Bwithout employing the extra logic that would come with use of
(B   \ExecuteOptions{pdftex} .
(B
(B
(BThere is *no later version* of  hyperref.cfg  supplied with the
(B  hyperref.dtx  and  hyperref.ins  bundle, currently at CTAN.
(BIndeed  hyperref.cfg  is not supplied that way at all.
(B
(BI understand that the philosophy is that individual distributors
(Bof (La)TeX software are supposed to devise appropriate  .cfg
(Bfiles that meet the needs of the typesetting engine that they
(Bdistribute. (e.g.  VTeX  and  Textures  and  Lyx  and  Scientific
(BWorkplace  would each need customised versions, quite different
(Bfrom what comes with  teTeX ).
(B
(BIt may once have been appropriate (back in 2002) to have 'hdvips'
(Bas the driver when using TeXLive --- e.g. running from the CD
(Bitself, rather than installing it first, as  fink  would do.
(BNow that the typesetting engine can produce PDF directly, this is
(Bno longer appropriate.
(B
(BReverting to the 2001 version of hyperref.cfg  allows for more
(Bflexibility, so is my recommendation.
(B
(B
(BAlternatively, 'fink' could distribute it's own .cfg file,
(Bthat says something like:
(B
(B\ProvidesFile{hyperref.cfg}%
(B   [2005/03/06  hyperref configuration for fink and teTeX 3.0]
(B% Change default driver to "pdftex" instead of "hypertex",
(B% requires hyperref 2002/06/05 v6.72s
(B[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
(B}}
(B\endinput
(B
(B
(B
(BSimilar considerations may apply to  color.cfg  .
(BI've not explored that recently.
