In addition to the templating that I mentioned in another message in
this thread, cfperl (http://lifelogs.com/cfperl) has this
functionality as well. It can pick the correct version of a file from
a hierarchy (directories in the hierarchy are class names) and install
it. The *deepest* match is preferred, because if you have a config
file for "linux" and another for "linux/redhat/exposed" you want to
pick the latter for a Redhat machine exposed to the outside. I think
that's what you mean by "lowest level" in the hiearchy.
cfperl is an external program, but can coexist with cfengine cleanly
and share the group definitions.
