The local manager can be used to send a message from ```traffic_server```
up to ```traffic_manager```. Look for ```RecMessageSend```. It's unfortunate
that ```RecMessage``` sends hand-marshalled data packets, but that could be
refactored to use the standard marshaling routines in ```MgmtMarshall.h```. One
problem that could happen going down this path is that we end up in a big ball
o' mud due to linker dependencies. I guess that could be refactored away, but
it could be painful.
I think that you are correct that the temporary watches need to be
associated with a top-level config file. When the parent (?) watch triggers,
then we can automatically drop all the child watches.
