Let's try to be pragmatic here. Cherokee-admin does not support  
splitted files, and moreover it will not support it in the near future.

In fact, I am not even sure whether it is desirable thing to implement  
in Cherokee. It looks much more like the "less stinky" solution for  
dealing with text plain configuration files.

Cherokee 0.5 used splitted configuration files because it was the best  
solution at that point, but things have changed a lot since then. In  
fact, I have put a whole lot of work to get rid of it.

In my opinion, it would make much more sense to allow the web based  
applications to 'enhance' cherokee-admin by adding some sort of  
definitions file. In fact, *the server configuration* is a single  
thing that ought to be treated as such.

Let's try not to copy the workarounds that other projects were forced  
to implement. We should try to thing ahead that!
