The problem is that this is a multi-layered problem.  You need to
write the CLI utilities which "back" your SMIT-like tool, you need to
write some GUI tools better than libdialog (which stinks) for
presenting the interfaces and, finally, you need to decide which goals
you're going to attack first.

We've talked about doing this for 2 years now, and we always get
bogged down in the process of providing the specs you request here (or
we get an initial set of objectives laid down, then nobody finds the
time to write anything and no progress is made).

Mike, anything from that guy who was threatening to do at least the
GUI components?
