Thanks.
Here is a test using the user.js which I attached in a previous comment and
the one from the ghacks project:

tail -n 20 out.txt

There seems something is not quite right in the parsing.

pyllyukko's user.js contains tabs (maybe others too, I still don't know).

That's very nice of you but perhaps it would be better to refactor it so that
it is self explanatory (comments etc). Code which is easy to read is also
easy to maintain, less prone to bugs etc. So if you have the time and desire
you can work on that.
BTW someone has already made an attempt to diff various user.js projects:
https://github.com/jm42/compare-user.js
but if we should make all this, it is crucial to have also the descriptions
about what each setting does (may need manual work). We could probably make
an interface (a form) with default and recommended values and a column in
which the user can enter values (or pick from existing). Then a simple
'Submit' button would be able to generate the user.js. I should be able to do
this with PHP.
