I thought about that because my explanation how I would do it results in
discussions here where I have the feeling that my explanation isn't
understood, so I thought an implemenetation would be better to understand.
I do not think such an implementation is that difficult, so it's not
really lot of wasted time when it doesn't get accepted.

A very basic example of how the config space could look is in
examples/classes from my multidistribution package.

Because I want to make my multidistribution examples easier to update
and handle for myself, adn keep them away from the standard simple
examples when developing for that, I put them in an extra classes
directory. A user then needs to do
cp -a /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/classes/*/* /usr/local/share/fai/
to get started.
