Yet an even better reason (no X) for my vote for a menuconfig-like 
system. I sometimes config, start, and stop mol exclusively from afar 
through ssh. Although I can edit the config file in emacs just fine 
thru ssh, a menu-based config program would be nice.

Also, I note that a mol installation from build always writes over 
the molrc file. There is no automatic 'save old config' step, like 
there might be in an rpm install. I always have to save the old one, 
and swap them out. If I forget to do this, I have to go through it 
again by hand...
