Fair enough. 

Thinking out loud about how to implement this: would you consider a
directive that specified a script to be run whenever a Bacula component
needed to open or reference the config file that would supply the name
of a file to read for the information? The idea would be similar to the
pre-run script for the FD, but applied to the Bacula daemons, and
invoked as part of the read-config-file step.

That way, the "official" location for the config file could contain only
the information to find the config-generator script, and a directive to
activate the "dynamic config" option. That config file could trivially
be replicated for systems with the ability to do substantial R/O sharing
of filesystems.
