Still hoping for answers to the questions above. In the meantime, I did some studying of particle's earlier attempt at this (http://perlcabal.org/svn/parrot/revision/?rev=18968). Let me fine tune the questions: What, if anything, are you looking for in file-based configuration beyond (a) being able to omit specified configuration steps; and (b) being able to provide various options to specific steps (e.g. verbose-step for >1 step)?
