I agree.  I think would should start by writing a simply Config
class that handles reading and writing values.  That's not to say
that applications need to change (they can still read the $conf
hash), but it would be a good shart upon which configuration
tools could be built.  Provided the API was stable, the
underlying configuration implementation could change, too (to XML
or whatever).

Later, I think.  We don't have the time to write and test it
before the next release.
