We could configure all the paths that are currently hardcoded in modules (like /usr/sbin/smartd or /sbin/iptables). It will be easier to change this paths in configuration files than in modules source code. This could also be used in some new modules i was going to write like apache module or statistics modules. The code is extremely simple so there is not to big cost of this change.
