Comment (by VasiliyPetrov):

 Probably you did not understand my request.

 Current  default files (that are used for pre-configuration of all
 components on *the first start*) does not contain all required options.
 So, when even skilled user trying to "search and replace" ports to a
 different values, he will get non-working copy of the TBB. Just because
 pre-configured templates does not contain *all* options.

 I had added a few settings (see attached tor-settings-repository-diff-
 fix.zip) to a torrc-defaults and extension-overrides.js files. These
 changes are enough to have a fully pre-configured copy. With added
 following strings you will have:
 1. If you installing without any changes of configs -- the same as
 currently have in TBB v3.5.6 and others. Just a common installation
 package: install and use.
 2. If you install, do not start, and want to change required ports just by
 searching "9051", "9151" -- you will find *all* locations, where you need
 to change, and after these changes *all* will work fine. (In the current
 TBB v3.5.6, even if you will change all what you will find, TBB will not
 run and will not work correctly; because templates of config and overrides
 settings for first install *does not contain some of the variables, that
 must be changed or stay default, if you do not changing*).

 All this stuff will not damage an update process, because after updating
 (new installation package will have the same template, with all variables,
 but default values written) user will be able to make the same changes.

 Shortly what I want to ask/to do:
 Just fix templates to add *all* required variables, just with default
 values to give to a user a possibility to correctly change all *without
 running*, just by text editor - "search and replace". All attached info is
 enough for finishing this task.
