    <package id='wpkg-settings' name='WPKG: Einstellungen' revision='20090709' 
priority='10000000' execute='once'>
        <install cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe" --
IMPORT=%WPKG_ROOT%\settings.xml'/>

        <upgrade cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe" --
IMPORT=%WPKG_ROOT%\settings.xml'/>
    </package>

Where %WPKG_ROOT% points to the WPKG share (I put the settings.xml there 
instead of %SOFTWARE% in case that setting is changed ;-)
Just assign such a package to every host and bump the revision number when 
neccessary.  Note however that the changed settings will only be effective for 
the next run, so you might add reboot="true" if that's not acceptable.

HTH,
