Based on the request, it seemed pretty likely that the first was true.  I
don't know what it would mean to convert a primary config file to a
secondary config file if there were other things to take into account.

As for other options, it should be pretty straightforward to add checks for
them to the above awk command.  Consider it a baseline from which he can
add all the bells and whistles he needs.
