I think having a sample configuration file which we can include and make
the specific configuration changes for that contrib has it's logic, and
I believe it's a good idea to include.

We suggest having a bdr.conf file separated with all the BDR
configuration parameters, so this makes total sense.

I will have a better check at the patch and get back (didn't find
anything wrong at the first look at it).
