+1   ... the discussion from way-back-when about pmlc "groups" seems like
a more appropriate approach for the use cases I've come across.

The separation between pmlogger and pmlogconf is a very good thing IMO -
its a clean, easily understood separation of concerns.

I'd also like to teach pmlogconf to produce alternate formats over time;
like the one Marko suggested recently for exporter-tools in the class of
pcp2graphite, so that it can be used to configure those metric sinks.  I
have seen two separate needs for similar tools just this week that would
be able to use that immediately.

Almost noone uses the existing dynamic configuration capabilities that
pmlogger has (nor even asks about them), I'd not advocate spending a ton
of time in there.

cheers.
