I believe that a module that would save all the configuration information for a drupal site without the data, that is the configuration settings for all of the modules, would be enormously useful. I often want to create a new site that has many of the same modules, and same functionality as a site I have made previously, but I want to do a clean install instead of using a copy of the database from another site. It is very time-consuming and aggravating, to have to attempt to remember how modules were configured on a previous site to achieve a certain functionality, and recreate that configuration. This is something that has cost me untold hours of time.

If there were a module that would list all of the configuration settings for a site in say, a text file, this would be very helpful, but it would be even better if it were capable of automatically applying these settings to a new site.

Is there already some module that does this? If not, I would be willing to undertake such a project, time permitting, but unfortunately, right now, I have a lot more ideas than time, so I don't know when that would be. Maybe someone else might be willing to run with this ball? Does anyone else think this would be useful?
