Unfortunately, that's not the case. There are certain files
in /etc/sysconfig that are _not_ shell scripts. On my machine (Fedora
13), I have for example /etc/sysconfig/sysstat.ioconf, which is
decidedly not a shell script.

Are there specific files you are missing in the default setup ? I'd be
more comofortable adding files that we know are shell variable files.

Note that you can also tell augeas which files to load by
manipulating /augeas/load[1]

Adding that part of the patch would be fine.

Also, it will make my life a lot easier if you send patches in unified
format (output of diff -u or what 'git diff' and 'git format-patch'
produce)
