Additionally, I've seen and made conf and ini files with all the line
spacing and comments stripped out and that also makes for a nice short
and pithy file. (You can keep a copy of a default ini laying around in
case you need a reference.)

But, I just want to clarify here, Dan. So you are saying you can delete
every entry in the Apache conf and MySQL, PHP ini and the products will
work correctly on their own using all default settings that are actually
pre-programmed into the product and get applied with or without the
config files.

And you are saying you need only keep your changed settings in the conf
and ini files?

Do I get that correctly?

Uh, "have" is the wrong word there. :)  You don't need to drop a
database 
before upgrading.  You leave your old tables in place and MySQL provides

upgrade scripts that implement changes between server versions.

Of course.
