I've thought some more about this and I must say I like the idea, if we
have a package* containing known working config files for each
motherboard and an include statement for sensors.conf, then an
autoconfig tool would only have to generate the nescesarry #include
lines(s). This way it will also be easy to generate configs which
contain the correct config for both a motherboard and say a graphics
card, simply by having 2 include lines in sensors.conf one for each.

*preferably a package generated from some kinda database with a
webinterface, as will be created by the google SOC project)
