This latter obviously is more what we want. My point was that neither
Wichert's proposal nor Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho's proposal accomplish this.
We need to separate the values and desciptions of what they mean from the
scripts. This gives us a browsable tree. The scripts are the "wizard" tools.
I still favor using shell scripts, rather than some made up language
interpreted in the frontend - I don't see a functional differnce and we
already have shell interpreters.
