+TODO:
+ * reimplement the config.py / .config mechanism.  i'd like for many commands
+   to share very similar argument or argument sets, as well as have some
+   common config options.  I'm not sure the best way to do this.
+
+ * pull out global configuration information from various files, like rt_db,
+   mailer.py,  auth.py, and any others.  Create a single configuration file
+   from which all others pull.
+
+ * Find a better location to place and pull the PLK files currently in the pdb
+   directory.  Ultimately, these should be stored in a real DB.  Until then,
+   they should sit in a location that is accessible from the www scripts,
+   backend scripts, and user utilities.
+
+ * add a third package for user tools that will interact with the Monitor
+   service.  Mostly, I'm guessing this would be queries for the live status
+   nodes and a more reliable 'reboot' and 'reinstall' mechanism than currently
+   availble with PLC.
