Re: Mirari template

[Anil Madhavapeddy <anil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just landed in California, so I will look at the code later. High level 
point though: in the long term, the main.ml will be replaced by some sort of 
structured configuration module (eg the Froc approach if that comes together).

So in the short term, any Mirari hacks required to generate the main.ml are 
acceptable :) If a template makes it easier to maintain, go right ahead!
