Hmm.. this seemingly small change is rather a big change in terms of
API design as so far we have kept install config separate from install
script. They only meet each other when generating scripts from
template.

Since the OS-specific values are actually needed when transforming the
template to script (i-e in osinfo_install_script_generate_config_xml),
 I wonder if there is another less intrusive (in terms of API) way to
achieve the goal. One idea that comes to mind is to create a
OS-specific temporary config (internally) based on the pass (to
_install_script_generate*) config and script.

Also how would the app know which _new() to use? If we accept this
change, I reluctantly suggest we deprecate the other _new().
