Hmmmm.... I'll think about this.. but I'm a little time constrained 
right now...  I worry about not giving it enought thought and coming up 
with something that will end up being undocumented and difficult to 
config.  Figureing out what all the config options do already is quite 
involved.

I'm sure Eric will have some good ideas as well when he gets further 
along with freebios2.

Maybe we should attempt to generate a list of requirements the new 
structure would need.  List members can then chime in on if it would 
meet thier needs or not.
