If it's not present Webalizer just uses all default settings.  Download the
Webalizer source from webalizer.com and you'll find it in there.

I generally setup Webalizer to loop through each site, check for a
webalizer.conf file in each site's home directory and if not found use
/etc/webalizer.conf.  Really the only time I don't setup Webalizer that way
is when a client only has one site or when the client doesn't want site
admins to have that control.

Here are some snippets from a Bash script I wrote:

if test -f $PATH_TO_SITES/$SITE/webalizer.conf
then
    CONF=$PATH_TO_SITES/$SITE/webalizer.conf
else
    CONF=/etc/webalizer.conf
fi

$WEBALIZER -c $CONF ...

Hope that helps.
