it makes sense. something like this will also allow us to have an unified
sanity check / reporting on the config.

I was thinking, the default `sudo koha-config` could be the interactive mode
ala python.

@Viktor: while ^^^ not being a GUI, Magnus's suggestion of an interactive mode
actually does pretty much what you are asking. Of course, if anyone volunteers,
wrapping a dialog / gdialog / zenity wrapper around the bash script will give
you the GUI :-)
