We are all acutely aware of the problems the GUI causes when we manually 
edit configuration files -- httpd.conf, aliases, virtusertable, and the 
like.  It seems to me not very difficult to rewrite the GUI to use the 
configuration files as base input when editing data, rather than the 
PostgreSQL database.  All the config files are parseable, so deciphering 
them into HTML forms and later recording the changes as the admin 
originally laid them out seems feasible.

Comments/thoughts?
