That's why it's called "Config *Parser*".  It parses files.  You want the
ConfigWriter module, which I'm afraid doesn't exist.  Even if it did, you'd
have the problem that the current options file flattens out the option
hierarchy a bit, so that it's not

    Options.options.Tokenizer.basic_header_tokenize

but

    Options.options.basic_header_tokenize

To feed the current options to some sort of config file writer you'd
probably have to correct that.
