Well, I have a good contra-example: we are using FlowScan with my 
own analysis module (actually, http://carrierin.sourceforge.net is its home page), 
and it puts all RRD files into one directory. But I still want to 
treat them as a hierarchy, depending on the filename pattern.

I've just finished the first proposal for the XML configuration file 
which could fit into the paradigm described in Requirements:
 
http://carrierin.sourceforge.net/config-sample.xml
