  And if that information is pretty much useless for other clients, why burden 
client developers with a 'universal config format'?  Example would be under 
Windows.  Windows uses the registry for virtually everything, and many, MANY 
developers will end up using it.  Under Linux, it's a different story.  And 
then there's the Mac.. ;-P
