Well, so does our ConfigManager :) As I see it, the problem of users not
finding the config files will not be a problem of ours, since we will
provide editing functions in the browser itself!

And our approch with several configfiles not loaded untill needed should
be fast and use little memery, I don't know if they are better, but if
they are I'd be happy to steal there code :)

There is also another approch that might be hard to implement using there
lib: We want a central config file at the mnemonic site (downloaded and
cached as a normal http file) in which serten config items should be
overriden by the local host config which in tern should be overridden by
the users! All this to be albe to get the default config of a new added
module...

But I'll take a closer look at it later on, right now I have to run...
