For now it is. Neither the 'make' based approach or the "remember to
run domain_config" approach are quite doing it for us at the moment.

So we are re-generating the files on each call to the init scripts of
some services. Awkward, and generates some pointless churn on disk.

But less awkward than things breaking, and working through all the
configs that need some level of dynamic updating takes some time
(mainly in testing).

cheers,
