There hasn't been an checkins because there hasn't been any

Uuuggggghhh...are you sure this is a good idea?

I guess I don't have a problem with this, but it needs to be
well-structured (as opposed to simply adding the ability to send a new
copy of the dbconfig file to the server).

That part sounds nice.

If you send in patches, they'll be reviewed and integrated.
