uhmm I just chaned it the other way around, but it is easy to make a
change for these. I choosed svconf because the prefix "share" was
already used elsewhere in the code, and didn't want to make confusion.

Well in English you say "a bool option" not "an option bool", so I
changed the name to seem more natural :)

Yes, but that's something we can clean-up later when we are satisfied by
the basic logic and structure of the code.

Will try to address the problems you mentioned soon, are you ok if I
commit it to the tree when these problems are solved? Or do you prefer
to review the code again as a patch?

Tridge, any comment from you?

Simo.
