Maybe it can already be found in the documentation(anyone have a link?), 
but I'd be interested to see how else one might structure a "files:" 
example like Neil offered for any three particular files.  I'm not so 
much interested in modularization, as in simplification.  I'd like for a 
service administrator to be able to easily and concisely write her 
particular bits, without having to know about or depend on some local 
modular conventions.  Can it be done anywhere near as simply, AND as 
clearly, as it can now in cf2, e.g.:

files:
     /var/log/wtmp       m=0644 o=root g=utmp action=create
   redhat_ws_3::
     /etc/yum.conf.team  m=0644 o=root g=root action=fixall
   ArchiveClient::
     /var/spool/archive/ m=0755 o=root g=root action=create
