System Config Tools Cleanup Project - tools to eliminate/replace

There are still cases ( corner cases, granted ) where the no- 
xorg.conf-auto-foo doesn't quite work, and s-c-d gets you to a better  
working X. I muck with xorg.conf so rarely I forget the directives  
and syntax between each time - editing by hand is painful.

When using older monitors that don't have the talkie-talkie to tell  
the graphics card what resolution it supports, choosing a model from  
the list in s-c-d gets a list of resolutions known to work. s-c-d  
makes it much easier to switch between drivers to see which one  
better supports what is in your machine.

The KMS drivers kinda made s-c-d more useful, I hadn't needed it for  
a while.

Puts s-c-d in maintenance limbo.
It might already be in that position.

Is this why the apache config file(s) don't more closely match  
upstream ?
I'm the opposite of s-c-d here, I know the httpd.conf directives from  
memory,
I don't need a GUI to help me, plus I don't run X on the systems that  
run httpd.

Instead of editing httpd.conf ( the old apache 1.3.x way ), it should  
add or subtract whole files in /etc/httpd/conf.d
