Patch to automatically generate modules.conf and settings files

[Partha]

Hey Michael,
I modified setup.py to automatically generate modules.conf and
settings file and dump it in the right place for the rpm build to pick
it up. I tested em on the base dir and they seemed to work ok .. Only
downside was that I was not able to get a proper rpm built due to some
func integration issues in the spec which I didn;t have time to look
at. But the correct files got copied over in rpm-builds, so I am
assuming it works ok.. You may safely delete the modules.conf and
settings in config and use this setup.py in the future.   Basically
they use the templates in installer_templates and defulat values from
installer_templates/defaults file. Update the the templates on every
new config entry and provide a nice default in the defaults file..

I am working on other parts of cobbler setup will have something tomorrow..

Ah, devel branch stuff.    Yes, I'm not done working on 
func-integration.   Thanks!

Excellent, I should have time to check this out today/tomorrow.    Not 
having to maintain the /usr/bin/cobbler-setup
templates and the settings file we install in /etc seperately is 
definitely a good thing and will mimize settings drift
for sure.
