And an initial series of patches

 - now the domain_config scripts do something more sensible and more resilient
 - we now divert config files for named, dhcpd, squid
 - we use templates - at least for files edited by domain_config scripts

the bad news is - the upgrade path is horrendous. First I have to
manage to get the files there. Look at the topmost patch in the
xs-config repo right now. It is nothing I am proud of, but should
work. Without it, all our files get diverted to .rpmnew

This is not my kind of fun :-/

cheers,
