which tools did you use? 0.30.196? or 0.30.204?

I guess it is simple a matter of preference, and it
was Enrico's preference to do it this way ... but
if you think about it, this config 'tree' can be easily
mapped to a property list, which could be stored in
a single file ...
actually I did wonder many times now why nobody did
create a tool to map one to the other (or even to
'convert' an existing legacy config file to the new
config layout)
