This is exactly what I have had in mind..... I'm still working on the
database/variable file for my own testing. The only problem with this
idea is that it modifies existing packages (substution variables), but it
nullifies the need to generate all the needed conf files saving tons of
space and re-packaging as well. I feel this is an acceptable change and
have personnally had a set of install scripts for Dachstein that take the
other 'regenerate-method' posted from my /devel directory for over a year
now. These methods will work with *any* front-end and eliminate a lot
of common errors that are made via hand-editting.
