It is not difficult to merge main.cf fragments without creating
duplicate definitions of parameters. The warnings are useful for
users who accidentally define the same setting twice.

A simple merge script will suffice:

#! /usr/pkg/bin/perl -w
sub parse {
my ($s, $l) = @_;
if ($s =~ m{^(\S+?)\s*=\s*(.*?)\s*$}) {
$dict{$1} = $2;
} else {
print STDERR $s, "\n";
die sprintf("%s: malformed setting at line %d\n", $ARGV, $l);
}
}
while (<>) {
chomp;
next if (/^\s*(#|$)/);
if (m{^\s}) { $buf .= $_; next }
parse($buf, $line) if defined($buf);
$buf = $_; $line = $.;
} continue {
if (eof) {
parse($buf, $line) if defined($buf);
close ARGV;
undef $buf;
}
}
foreach $k (sort keys %dict) {
printf "%s = %s\n", $k, $dict{$k};
}
