Yes, freifunk-batman does this for you. It definitely is good work - just needs 
some upgrades. It also contains some firewall settings but they open the wrong 
ports (next to some other issues).

Batman does not need any config file. Every option (if needed) can be supplied 
as parameter when starting the application or running the batman client 
(batmand -c). If you just started I suggets you to have a look at our doc 
section: https://dev.open-mesh.net/batman/wiki/UserDocs

I guess the S66batman startup file reads the nvram variables and generates a 
command line for batman.
