Well, the problem with your converter script is, that it only works with version 1.80 of config.inc.php3: If someone uses an older version, even the one from 2.2.6 (v1.79), some settings added in later versions are still missing afterwards since they are not being readded by your script...
Those variables that have been added over the growth of PHP are not just in this new release, but rather they have been added slowly over our development cycle. A person copying a configuration file say between 2.2.0 and 2.2.6 would face the same problem anyway, just because new variables have been added.
Possibly we just get around this by documenting the fact that is it not recommended they use their old configuration file between releases, but instead copy their settings over to the new file by hand?
