Hello all,

i'm hoping to find some inspiration somewhere in BSD land for a work
project.  To be general, i need a tool or way of configuring a software 
package to handle a number of possible configurations of scientific instruments.

Here is an illustration:
A water system has a central pump, valves, supply and delivery lines.
Some of these might need adapters, and there might be custom or specialized
components as well.  Not to be overlooked are electrical connections.  And
these can be connected in a near limitless combination.  However, useful
combinations reduce the figure to a more manageable one.

I'm getting long winded.  Let's just say lots of components will be
connected to each other (physically) and to a control computer (serial,
GPIB, TCP/IP) and i need a way to configure and save these properties.

Any ideas on where to start?  Are there any examples in the BSD tree or on
the web somewhere?  I'm not sure where to even look.

Thanks in advance,
jonathon
