Ruby gem providing a modular and developer friendly way to access and modify
configuration files in a  system. It's structured in three layers.

The first layer provides access to the file and its content. By default it
accesses the local system, but it can be replaced by alternatives to work
on a chroot environment, on test data, on a remote machine or any other
scenario.

The second layer is the parser, that understands the structure
of the configuration files. There are also several possible variants like augeas
based, XML parsed by standard ruby library or CVS via cvs specialized library.

The third layer consist on a set of models representing the files to provide
more high level actions. Its main purposes are to ensure consistency of the
files and to provide high level API for manipulating the files. The models
live in their own gems as plugins built on top of this gem.
