I am not sure I understand the logic here.  In truth, Freenet should be
able to get going using sensible defaults even if there isn't a
freenet.conf file at all. Once it is up and running, a config servlet 
could be used to create/modify settings.  This would have the advantage 
of automatically synchronizing the configurator with new options as they 
appear.

I think an .exe is probably better, since it is what people expect on 
Windows.
