An update tool for config files would have to "understand" syntax
and constraints (on values) of all applications - that'd be asking
too much.
There are quite a few Gentoo developers fond of XML:-> Config files
could be distributed XML-ized, the application-specific "final"
format could be generated from it. User modifications should (only)
be applied with an XML-Editor (text-mode!<g>) to the XML file, then
the final format be re-generated.
