System Information
Linux x64

Blender Version
Broken: <= 2.68 (tested in release, master and octane's dist)

Short description of error
Exporting keymap to python file doesn't actually export the keymap.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Export keymap from UP -> input -> "export key configuration..."
Open resulting python file in a text editor. The result is a single function with generic operation on data that doesn't exist. Attached is my resulting py.

There are no options in the export dialogue that may enable or disable certain options. I thought maybe it would export only expanded keymap categories, but expanding keymap categories and entries had no effect. Selecting a preset has no effect either. Factory startup output the same file.

It seems this function has been OOO for a very long time. "Remove Unused" in the node editor just got removed because it was non-functional, but I want to keep the ability to export keymaps into plain text. This has bothered me in the past when I have to reset my UP to pinpoint slowdowns, but have been unable to reimport.

I forgot to link in the original post, but the wiki also has a section about exporting/importing, but it's very brief doesn't describe much of anything.

Exported keymap is kind of a diff against current enabled keymap's default values. So if you did not change anything to current keymap, your exported keymap will be (nearly) empty…

Perhaps it would be good to document such behavior, then. Addons register keys, but they are not exported, despite not being part of the defaults. It also seems that entire categories are exported if only one entry is changed. Overall this behavior is really misleading and poorly documented. I will try to set up docs locally to submit changes there.
