And even if none of Tiago's patches land as-is, it would be very nice to
just have -configure dump the same stub config file that gets logged into
Xorg.0.log already as the autogenerated stub instead of having a second
code path that generates something different, including sometimes picking
different drivers, so that Xorg -configure really does give you the same
starting point as Xorg with no xorg.conf.
