 That's an idea. As stated in the previous mail, I think htdig should
support both, though. Ascii configuration files and SQL table configuration.
The main motive for this is scalability. Parsing a 30Mb configuration file
each time a process is run is not possible. I'm 100% with you when you
say that it would be too complex to impose this to all htdig users, though.
Less than 0.1% of them will have huge configuration files.
 What do you think of the following:

 . htdig internals uses an SQL table
 . If no config file is found, use the content of the table
 . If a config file is found, wipe out the content of the SQL table,
   parse and store the config file in the table.

   This way we achieve the two goals : simplicity and scalability.

   FYI, I'm a MySQL user for other purposes since two years and find it
very fast, compact and reliable.
