I'm the offending user. I was so overjoyed at how beautifully simple
darcs2rss was, I guess I overreacted; I didn't consider updating the
script at all. I actually recommended Pedro consider refraining from
adding the config file support he'd said he was planning, in the
interests of keeping it so very simple.

Pedro was clearly right.

Very difficult may perhaps be an overstatement, since it's still a
handfull of assignments, clearly grouped together and documented at
the top, but with an external config file no editing of darcs2rss
would be needed at all. Much cleaner!
