@briandobbins suggested this and I think it's a good idea.
The config_*.xml files are large and unwieldy. The proposal is to separate them by machine. So config_machines.xml will contain only the NODENAME_REGEX field for each machine and the rest of the content will be moved to a subdirectory by machine name.
etc. I would implement this change in a backward compatible manor so that the current config file format would continue to work. This would also be done for the config_batch.xml file.
