+1.  It would be nice to have a default config that assumes some default
paths so that it will Just Work(tm) once you download the requisite
optional libraries.  Finding the information on what exactly to write in
the config file was not an easy experience for me -- there's conflicting
information online, and no clear instructions on what will work for my
case.  If nothing else, even a bunch of commented-out sample sections
for common target platforms in the shipped config file would have helped
a lot.
