Well, here is a kick-about for youse guys. It is just a simple shell
script implementing the interface I talked about (there are some details
and error checking omitted, but you will get the idea).
It has the script itself (leaf-cdb) and a test config-db (cdb/) with
several test keys. If you try it out, you _will_ find bugs.
If we decide to use something like this system on leaf, I would
recommend that we begin to set up the following directory structure:
/leaf
/cdb - root for config-db
/bin - executables and scripts for the maintainance of leaf
/trig - root of triggers
/tmpl - root of templates
Keep our stuff separate from the rest of the system so it is easy to
find. We should also prefix all of our scripts/executables with "leaf-"
to avoid name collisions and add /leaf/bin to the default path for
convenience for interactive tweakers.

I will check this out and start researching the templating side ASAP.
Thanks in advance for your time and code review.
