Umm.. it looks to me as though config_list dumps some pythonish code
that can be read by config_list to set the list parameters *other* than
the membership roster.

dumpdb dumps the whole list state, but there is no corresponding restore
tool, and the format ends up being a little odd (there are 3 membership
lists - normal, digest and member options).

Absolutely - the ability to dump the state into a text file and dicker
with it appeals to me greatly :-)

And the ability to take the snapshot and add the other membership data I
can derive from elsewhere and come up with a very current version would
be nice.
