[FreeNX-kNX] /etc/nxserver/node.conf.d/ ?

How would folks feel about moving to a /etc/nxserver/node.conf.d/
structure for config files rather than a single node.conf?

I mention this because there are situations where there 
are orthogonal interests in configuration.  For example,
I need the NETCAT_COMMAND to be nc, not netcat.
In the past I've just patched nxserver to acheive this
when building my internal packages.  With the 
advent of freenx 0.4.0 though it makes much more
sense to just ship with an appropriate config file,
except that I already have users who have custom 
node.conf files on their systems.

If we move to a /etc/nxserver/node.conf.d/ 
structure then a packager could simply put a 
file like:

/etc/nxserver/node.conf.d/10Fedora
(for example) and stick in system 
specific quirks (like netcat vs nc), and
a package consumer could just drop in a 
/etc/nxserver/node.conf.d/20SiteConf
file containing any site specific customizations.

Thoughts?
