I didn't mean the trivia. I meant this part:
you update the version of msdos/config.in in the repo whenever
you think it is needed
How would I know that a change needed, and (more importantly) how
would I know what to update there?
And what do you mean by "your src/ version there"? How will it help,
if it is just a result of editing config.in with Sed? I have no other
src/ version.

nt/config.nt is maintained by hand, allright, but that's done by
tracking changes in src/config.in. If src/config.in is removed from
the repository, maintaining nt/config.nt will hit a snag, because
there will be no file to "bzr diff" against the previous version and
see what's changed, and how else would someone know how to update
config.nt?

Why ugly, move-if-change should be fine. What am I missing?

It will be, if there's a practical way to know how to update the
private config.in without having a Posix platform nearby.
