What sobomax actually asked was for INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE to be opt-out;
the easiest way to achieve this is to put it in DEFAULTS, so people who
don't want it can use "nooption INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE".  I vote in favor.
It's one of those things that is so incredibly useful, but that you
never remember to turn on until it's too late.

BTW, it would be also useful to include the config file (if available)
in the tar-formatted dumps you are working on.
