Architecture
------------
-Bcfg2 provides a declarative interface to system configuration. It was
-designed and implemented in-house at Argonne National Laboratory, but
-has matured to the point that external sites have begun using it. Its
-configuration specifications describe a literal configuration goal state
-for clients. In this architecture, the Bcfg2 client tool is responsible
-for determining what, if any, configuration operations must occur and
-then performing those operations. The client also uploads statistics and
