It depends what exactly you mean by configuration files. The way I would
go to add configuration options is to use exactly the same approach that
Bro itself uses: create scripts, which contain default values that can be
redefined.

That is something that plugins also can do - users then can redefine the
values to watever they need in their local.bro or other scripts.

If you want to get more fancy, you can also write plugins to broctl, which
might be able to automate this task (depending on what kind of
configuration options you want to set).
