Well, I'm guilty of this.

I let talk died after Brooks Davis mentioned a specific port doing most
of configuration things transparently for the user.  This port would
reduce the amount of documentation to update and would ease user life.

Brooks do you still have the port skeleton you talked about?
Can it be committed and what do we have to remove/update from the
Mathematica section to match this port?
