You can write a generator which will parse /etc/sshlh.cfg and drop e.g.
$1/sslh.socket.d/sshlh-cfg.conf

with contents
[Socket]
ListenStream=...

That way e.g. you can enforce that config file is still fully honoured
as canonical place to set ports.

Checkout generators at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Generators/

Or e.g. look at /run/systemd for things that got generated by various
stuff (e.g. like the fstab generator).
