This is also how Glance manages their conf files. I agree that it's better
when configuration files are as small as possible for each daemon so this
requirement makes sense. However mapping the options to the files seems
need of manual control for the time being. Therefore the current goal is to
list up all the options in one file with the default values commented out.
This is for the web doc team to go through minimum hassle for updating
option documentation. We should have further discussion on how to
automatically map options to its conf file.
