You may be right. It's a config file for how to build against DOLFIN,
not for configuring DOLFIN.

Another motivation to put it there is I want Dorsal to generate a
corresponding fenics.conf file and I want to put both files in the
same location. Where is otherwise a suitable location for fenics.conf?

I would like to accomplish the following:

1. Being able to use Dorsal to build everything except DOLFIN (by
   commenting out DOLFIN in the platform file).

2. Being able to build DOLFIN against that installation by sourcing
   a single file

   source <dorsal_install>/<etc or some other dir>/fenics.conf

3. Being able to build and run DOLFIN applications against (1) and (2)
   by sourcing two files:

   source <dorsal_install>/<etc or some other dir>/fenics.conf
   source <dolfin_install>/<etc or some other dir>/dolfin.conf

4. A user who lets Dorsal build the whole stack including DOLFIN
   should be able to build and run applications against that
   installation by just sourcing one file:

   source <dorsal_install>/<etc or some other dir>/fenics.conf

And I want both files to be generated automatically, not having to
maintain my own fenics.conf files. I typically have multiple
installations of the FEniCS stack except for DOLFIN and a handwritten
fenics.conf for each that I source before building multiple DOLFIN
versions against those.
