(thus in the windows world, where you have to reboot all the time)
What I think is happening in the Linux-kernel-based desktop world
(i.e. GNOME/KDE, which includes man *BSD systems too, of course), is
that dbus is being used to announce new addresses. It's less obvious
that this should be used for routers/servers, but I think it will become
the thing.
So, what we actually need from your list of things to be tweaked is a
list of what inputs they need for the tweaking. The mechanism for the
tweaking could evolve, so long as we can keep the naming of each
parameter consistent.

So, this is where the naming and categorization of services is
important.
The first slide here:
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/81/slides/homenet-5.pdf
was bemoaning the lack of anything between local link, and world.
And I think the take-home from your list is that there is nor only the
"Home", but also the "Trusted home" and "Guest home"
