Configure processing server role with config patches

The Sitecore documentation provides some pretty clear instructions on how to configure a Sitecore instance as a processing server:

https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/xdb_configuration/configure_a_processing_server

However, many of those steps require enabling/disabling of files manually on the installed server. Has anybody seen or built a patch file (similar to SwitchMasterToWeb) that can disable/enable the appropriate functionality as a patch? I would rather not touch the default Sitecore install and instead rely on automated deployment of configuration patches.

If anybody else winds up looking for this, I've posted some work up on GitHub for patch files for a variety of versions for 8.0:

https://github.com/jst-cyr/Sitecore-Role-Configs

The patches there will do the 'disable/enable/change' for authoring, delivery, or processing. I don't have one for the reporting server.

I haven't seen this as a patch and not sure if its possible to do this with just one patch (would love to be proved wrong), but for something like this I've used a Powershell script.

I set up Octopus Deploy to run a Powershell script step after deploy to disable files and change settings if patch files can't do the job.

I can highly recommend the Powercore tools for this kind of thing.
