I think there has been an unspoken assumption that having a configuration
utility excludes having a user-modifiable Config.hs file.  If the
utility generates a fresh Config.hs instead of modifying an existing
one, you get the best of both worlds.  The user would have the choice of
using the generated file, modifying the generated file or using a file
that came from another source.
