It would be interesting to have standard CORBA interfaces for runtime
configuration of programs. It would need an IDL with setattr, getattr,
and some locking. Also a central server (alas, a single point of
failure) for listing configurable apps and a (GUI?) client program to
do the actual configration would be needed. But that's about it. It
seems so simple that one starts to wonder why it hasn't been done
before.
