Development platform is on CentOS 5.  Although I have used dialog(1) for
UI in the past, I am not sure it is up to the UI complexities needed for
Bacula configuration files.  I was thinking of an application in either
perl (which I know better) or python (which has the snack/newt library
available).  Unfortunately I got pulled off onto another project before
I had anything more than a tentative object model for parsing the .conf
files.  If this is something that would be useful to a lot of people,
though, we might be able to bump the priority up again.  Our own
requirements are fairly limited, though: we would pre-define much of the
configuration, and only allow certain specific customisations.
