So they'd be regenerated each time you booted up?

Hmmmm.  That's not such a terrible idea, actually, just so long as the
here documents were wrapped around:

	if [ -w /etc/targetfile ]; then
		.. here document which writes on it ...
	fi

So that you could handle the read-only-root case.  I kinda like it!
What do others thing?
