 I myself have actually never changed the file, except for patches I have
received from other people.

 However, I don't see any real reason to remove it - it seems to add
functionality without much complexity.  I know that a while ago, it was said
that most of the options presently in config.h should be loaded at run-time, so
that things can be changed without a full recompile.
