I obviously have my dosbox.conf set up as I want it, with rates, paths to GUS, autoexec commands, etc., etc., and practically every time an official or CVS version comes out, there's something new added to the file. New sections, new shaders, new options... and then I have to copy and paste this changes into my dosbox.conf file, line by line, word by word, which is so tedious and annoying, especially since the files is set up messily and the order of some parts is random ([printer] in the middle of video settings?).
Dosbox should simply do what Mame, Gens and pretty much every emulator does: open the config file on startup *and* if there are any sections or lines missing, add them, filling them with default options. I could just run it then and let it write what it, instead of for instance copying the whole new [glide] section and wondering where to put it, as I've just done...
(And just in case - no, I don't consider "let it create a new config file and edit it from the scratch" to be any "advice" - as I said, I have the config edited and customized heavily)
