gnome-phone-manager generates a configuration file in memory to use the
gnokii library, instead of having to create a temporary file and loading
the configuration from there.

Ie. we don't want to have users needing to create a ~/.gnokiirc, or have
gnome-phone-manager needing a hack to load the configuration (create a
temp file, load the config file, and then remove it).

So, it's completely useless for gnokii itself, but very useful for other
front-ends that use another way to create a config file.
