    A lot of it is an unecessary bother. The fact that it is easy doesn't
mean you want to futz with it. A lot of this stuff you just set once and forget 
about so it might not even be easy. 

    If you know what you're doing it's easier to just clone bits from the 
settings table. 

    Even if not completely correct, cloning a new frontend from and old one
will probably be a lot quicker than just starting from scratch.
