Personally, I'm not clear on what a separate syconfig.cfg file offers over clearly separating the directory configuration settings and continuing to have distributions patch sysconfig.py directly. The bootstrapping problem (which would encourage classifying synconfig.cfg as source code and placing it alongside syscongig.py) is a major part of that point of view.
