The main part of that is the GUI, which is certainly not going to be in

gaining.
The way things are now, writing the GUI is *simple* compared to the fact
that you have to write a config file parser. One for each tool.
No you don't. All you need is the output of the pg_settings view.
Or at least, if that's insufficient, let's discuss exactly how.
I can read the settings. How do I write them, if the only interface to
write them is to deal with the file as a complete unit?
I was certainly planning to use the output of the pg_settings view to
read the data. pgadmin today uses the config file, which is one reason
it sucks :-) (because it basically presents the entire config file as a
remote text-file editor to the user, and that's not what the user wants)
