Auto magic i do not like myself but it seems too restrictive to have
some dummy server definition to start server if there will be only one
server anyway. Virtual servers are good feature for advanced use, we
used them before when had multiple servers.
But to start one simple web server, i think it does not need to be that
complicated, enabling module you want and have it running is good way to
immediately see it working. I agree, making it open or less secure just
to be able simply run is bad, but if security is not involved and no
changes in the core for running default/complex configs, maybe it is not
that bad once it documented and logged?

Er, no.
No crazy magic to auto-create config behind your back. Virtual
servers just aren't complicated. They're a feature, and they're
embedded deeply into the core code (all the references to char *server
in the C API) so it's not going any where quickly.
I agree with your over all goal, which is to have a minimal config
file able to boot and run a functional server, right? This is
definitely a good idea.
The current sample-config.tcl doesn't handle this case well, and it
shouldn't -- it's supposed to be a complete reference to all config
values.
So, we need some other way to handle basic servers. Magic config
construction just isn't the way to do it though. How about we move
nsd-min.tcl you just added to contrib (dumping ground, grrr...) into
the top level, and call it simple-config.tcl?
We'll have two config files ship by default:
sample-config.tcl -- Exhaustive list of all config variables
simple-config.tcl -- Basic config needed to run a single virtual server.
They will be identical in the sense that the resulting running server
will have the same properties, because the sample-config.tcl will be
illustrating *optional* config values, and possibly they''' all be
commented out.
We can rename 'server1' to 'default' if you like.
