for most tasks cherokee-admin is the adequate tool, but there are some
cases in which you have to make some batch processing and need to edit the
cherokee.conf file directly.
I personally don't like M4 for configuring files that are readable it adds
another layer of complexity to something that should be inherently simple.
I would like to have wizards and batch processing tools.
