Libconf should come in handy for this problem (which I know from redhat's |
| 27 |
linuxconf). In general though these tools allways are more limited than |
| 28 |
the configuration files/configuration tools from the packages |
| 29 |
themselves. What I think is very important is that the tools will work |
| 30 |
with NORMAL configuration files and do not have magic-do-not-change |
| 31 |
sections. This makes the maintenance of the tool harder, but allows |
| 32 |
multiple tools to cooperate. |
