I'm not expecting any experienced Koha admins to approve of a GUI :) I must
however confess that running my dev install on a regular desktop Debian while
trying to learn what's under the hood makes it easier. So my thought was that a
script would be good for actual admins that just wants to make shure things are
correct, editing the files directly good for those who like to tinker with
stuff and a GUI for real newbies coming from windows who just want to edit the
settings on a test install without becoming friends with the terminal first. 

The suggestion was based on my interest in lowering the barriers for
IT-librarians evaluating Koha as an alternative to proprietary systems since
the very rarely has spent any real time in the terminal of a *nix OS. The same
goes for most IT-departments here who refuse to touch anything that not MS. 

I'll back off on this now and enjoy watching the creation of a useful tool that
I'll gladly use myself. 

@Indranil Interactive mode sound great. I guess that the day I can create a GUI
wrapper myself I will find no use for it :)
