My immediate though when I saw this post was how would (potential)
macros in the config files be handled as these introduce 'uniqueness'
in the files.

Maybe a new API call in the configchannel namespace called
'getRawFile(String sessionKey, String chanLabel, String fileName)'
returning a structure similar to 'server.config.lookupFileInfo' but
the 'contents' would be raw?
