Summary:                    [patch] Properly handle tempates on config
read/write
Description: 
The configuration parser properly handles inherited properties from
templates when loading them from configuration files, but miss-handles them
when writing the configuration back to disk.

The attached patch denotes a context which has been built from a template
by automatically adding a variable called "inherited_" which is set to the
parent category name.  When the config handler writes the file, it checks
to see if a category is marked as inherited_ and if so, only writes those
values which are absent from the parent context.

Initial config:
[c1](!)
a = foo

[c2](c1)
b = bar

After saving:
[c1](!)
a = foo

[c2]
a = foo
b = bar


When c2 is loaded, it copies stuff from c1, so when it saves, it keeps
them there.  I think this is what he's referring to.
