I suppose the reason to have these config scripts is that the actual game descriptions only have to refer to a few of those, which are shared by many. Otherwise they could just as well have been written inside the game descriptions themselves. But the fact that almost all games need dedicated model and view files sort of spoils that. If the building script would be clever enough to combine the game-specific files mentioned in the description with shared descriptions of all sub-models they are based on, it would be much more useful.
