setup.ini is generated by a program called "upset". The current sources
are not available to the public since the program is not intended for
"roll-your-own-setup.ini" and the program is not something that I want
to receive patches for or questions about.
Older versions of the program are probably not kicking around out they
are not supported here.
If you want to generate a setup.ini use genini. If you find bugs, then
proposed patches will be thoughtfully considered as long as they aren't
band-aids.
