Dirvish typically runs with root privileges.  I don't think I could 
sleep at night with it connected to PHP via an API-level interaction.  
That whole global-variable-populated-by-GetOptions thing puts a bit of 
a damper on things too.

The config-file format is *almost* YAML.  I think writing the config 
files would be the way to go, provided that you deal with the locking 
and concurrency issues which come from having multiple clients.

But I don't think any of this is very feasible until the code gets a 
thorough refactoring, runs under strict, and has tests.  (Alas, I 
suppose I just have to keep mentioning that until I get the time to do 
it myself.)
