[tor-dev] Using a conf.d instead of a monolithic config file

I'm looking to start developing a Tor module for Puppet, one of the primary difficulties in making things work together "nicely" is the monolithic configuration file.

Has there ever been plans or discussion about using a conf.d-style directory to store configuration file fragments? It would be useful to be able to drop fragments for hidden service configurations, etc into a directory to be picked up by the Tor daemon.

If I provided the patches to make this possible, would it be useful?
