Does it? To my knowledge env-update relies on nothing else but bash and |
| 7 |
python, note that this it a statically compiled version of python which |
| 8 |
doesn't need any system libs. Maybe I'm overlooking something though. |

How could you possible unify the style of all the configuration files? |
| 16 |
This means that you'd have to track all the config formats of all |
| 17 |
libraries and applications together with their options and write a |
| 18 |
unified wrapper interface on top of them. I really can't see the benefit |
| 19 |
of that, and I don't dare to imagine the sheer nightmare of trying to |
| 20 |
maintain and update this. |
