Re: remote configuration sources

Hey all.... just so you don't think i asked a bunch of questions to never
be heard from again...

so, a bunch of random stuff:

1) so, do we agree it might be nice to have a user data abstraction?
	- if so, i would think something with similar features to gconf
	(caching, multiple backends, etc) would be ideal, but with an API
	more suited to the task at hand.

2) acap
	- read the spec, etc.  looks pretty sweet.  A couple things i don't
	like about their namespace layout, but otherwise looks like it 
	touches alot of features we'd need.
	- there is a sample server, as well as a C and java client api. 
	Definately would simplify a first cut at an acap system, but i have
	no idea how stable or complete they are.

3) i'll probably hack up gnomecard and/or ?? as a way to get a feel for the 
api that would be needed, and a proof of concept sorta thing.
