I just made a few updated to the page, as it hadn't been changed in a
long time...

Rather than creating a different format for a compiled config file,
I'll just have the daemon write a single cache file containing all
object definitions (in raw template format). The CGIs will then be
able to read that instead of the normal config files. A compiled
config file would probably be faster than the template-based ones,
but using FastCGI should nullify that issue.

Yep, the format of the retention file (and status log, for that
matter) will be updated to contain current and normal settings for
anything that can be changed on-the-fly.
