It was probably about a year and a half/two years back, before you did
the euseradd, etc stuff.  libconf is a project Dams did that makes
changes to config files transparent to the format being used, and I then
he have a few interfaces to it (php, perl, whatever).  Its just that
then we can do fairly generic config parsing stuff (and might be usefull
in the installer project as well).  Don't know if Dams want to give a
status update/overview ...

Dunno, just throwing around ideas.
