Config:
- named variables and groups of variables with getters and setters
(which will update them on the fly) included on registration.
- config file parser/writer.
- expose config vars via secure FCP. (secure FCP = passworded FCP).
- expose config vars via HTTP.

There is no need to send/receive raw data, except conceivably for
migrating data between networks. I don't see how FCP can do anything
without a socket.

I don't understand.

I still don't understand!
