[Bobs-devel] config editor suggestions

[Rene <re...@gr...>]

Hi Joe.

This is my suggestion to a new configuration editor.
This should ensure that options that are not used are not displayed.
eg. nfs_share should not be display if backup_method and restore_method
are "smb"

Feel free to change, disregard or extend it.

The changes to admin.php looked nice.

New functions in class_config (a lot of the old stuff could then be
removed):

make_server($server_defs)
	creates the basic empty configuration for a new server
	store the result in "$this->config" in class_config
	stores$server_defs in $this->server_defs for use in other functions.
(like check_rules)

check_rules ($name)
	check option "$name" to see if if passes the rules.
	returns TRUE or FALSE
	
edit_server ($config_from_admin.pgp)
	for each option in $this->config (also empty ones) it calls
check_rules()
	If TRUE it passes the option to html_parse_option($name)
	returns html

html_parse_option ($name)
	checks the type of the option and parses it into an html format for
editing.
	returns hmtl
