I hope too, that's why I follow development here. But, really, I
don't need elektra myself: I don't need to configure a lot of softwares
(I need to configure mutt, procmail, esmtp, ssh, fluxbox startup scripts and
shortcuts) and for those softwares I already have config files. Still it 
seems to me to be an interesting innovation, especially for other users
(like the users I administer).

I'll have a look at it, but basically we have to compile all the 
backends in libelektra.a - wa cannot expect that dlopen will work -- 
that's what explains all the complications.

 From a distribution point of view, this is very dubious, especially 
since elektra isn't still used a lot (though this may change now that 
it is packaged).
