You don't need to reverse engineer anything. In fact, you probably don't
need to understand how the setup scripts work that much.

The procedure that I would take would be:

* Find a configuration variable that exists in the setup, but not in the
user preferences. Let's take $cfg['RecodingEngine']
* grep for it (eg: git grep RecodingEngine)
* Look in all files whose names sound like they have something to do
with the configuration.
* See where the RecodingEngine variable appears in these files
* Copy + paste + edit
* Check if it works

Hope this helps.

Bye,
Rouslan
