On second thought, I think this is a good idea, except that I would
put the defaults in conf-compile/defaults/.  I think it will be easier
on the user to have the defaults as close as possible to where they
make their changes.  I'm working on changes for sp-install to handle
this.  Any other ideas about where the defaults should be, before I
release the new version?
