Yes, there is no reason the config-data could not be put in the module itself, other than that I personally like the config data to be in a separate file and in the vague hope that I will write a script to automatically fill the conf-file with the necessary data every time the underlying data changes.

    And the fact that putting the config in the module severely limits the usefulness of the module.
    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
