The drive behind the stuff that led to the (currently silent)
freebsd-config list was the creation of an open, metadata-driven
configuration framework, that would allow one to encompass this sort
of thing withouit having to write the glue again and again and

The parser is not at all, but the parser is trivial (less than 200
lines including comments and the like).  The real work is in the user
interface which builds itself based on the metadata provided.
