makestuff >new.ks
mv new.ks ks.cfg

It seems it does (or did) get reread. It relied on a quirk, and the 
include was invented to solve the need.

As I implied, I didn't actually do this, but if you go back to the ks 
archives for 2002 or so (back in the time of RHL 7.x) you should find it 
mentioned.
