The problem with these is that they only work for some of the possible 
mc configurations. (Think about --without-vfs and --without-edit.)

A general question is: Do we want to support all kinds of packaging 
systems, or shouldn't it be their job to do that? We might end up with 
tens of files from various packaging systems which we don't know good 
enough to update the files appropriately.
