OK, guys, let's get serious - provided that language will stay stable I'll
do the C version. You've got a description of this beast and as long as
you will remain compatible with it I don't see a problem.
Getting more regular description of the config options _is_ a good thing,
but let me repeat - in the long run fixing the underlying problems that make
configuration complex is better than suiting the tools to that complexity.
