Granted, these would parse the configs on disk into a single file; what
about the case where you want the actual running config?
I agree there should be no difference, and configs should be archived
before modification, but the case exists where the config on disk
doesn't reflect running config.
As an aside, I suspect a tool to generate a single httpd.conf file from
a multi-file installation (Debian anyone?) would be a useful addition to
the other tools.
