Right, so my eclass puts all config files in /etc/webapps, along with an
apache configuration block that gets activated when the user wants.  Like I
said, I've been using it with the Horde suite for a month now (upgrading
cvs snapshot builds).  Horde is very db-heavy and it has been an absolute
breeze to upgrade, and then run dispatch-conf to update the conf files
since they're all protected.
