This problem really needs to be solved in a more fundamental way. There needs to be a configuration backend which has absolute knowledge of all the configuration values available in any config file. A xml-type schema might do. Then front-ends can be written which display the meta-data (descriptions of what the options do etc), and the backend can do syntax checking of the config entries etc. There is a project at http://unixconfig.sourceforge.net that is supposed to fix this .... but they aren't very far yet ... Deno hinted that this sort of thing was going to be addressed in 9.0. Can we start now? I am sure there are lots of cookers who can write schema files (or something of the sort) if there is a backend being worked on ....
