I've just thought about the same :) Writing a simple script,
semi-graphical (ncurses) wizard or eventually nice looking gtk/qt
based admin tool full of wizards would certainly help people terrified
by over 200 various parameters. Who knows - it might be the "WinNT to
Samba migration tool" :-) :-)
To be serious though ... as you just said: "Anyone ?"
I'm too busy now with the documentation, so I don't want to make
promises ... Maybe when docs issues will be finished ... I don't know
now.
To conclude: As we actually don't have nice-n-easy admin tool now (I
don't count swat here, since many users don't like web based interface)
we should try to keep current configuration process as easy as
possible.
