Explanation: The system configuration data gathered by Confdump-Agent can only be returned as whole tables. This makes some data impossible to dump due to its sheer size (WMI in particular). The easiest way to provide fine-grained querying is probably to bundle SQLite and provide the configuration tables as virtual SQL tables. As SQLite is a (more or less) complete SQL implementation, this even makes it possible to data-mine the system configuration on the spot!

Expected result: add a --query option that runs any SQL-conforming query on the internal system configuration tables.

Knowledge Prerequisite: A good grasp over C, C++, object-oriented programming and SQL.
