Under my /usr/local/etc/amanda I have several config directories.
I also have a directory called "CommonConfFiles".

I have stripped down my amanda.conf files to eliminate things like
dumptypes, tapetypes, and a few others.  Each is in a separate
file under CommonConfFiles.  Then at the end of my amanda.conf's
I use includefile to bring in each file I need.  It takes amand.conf
from a scary 560 lines to a still imposing 100 lines.
