AFAIK, there aren't any holds in cce for such a thing.  All the objects
in there also seem to be compiled in, so their attributes can't be
changed.  Also, from my experience, it looks like the configuration is
stored in seperate objects for each service, which limits you more,
since there's not one big "Configuration" class.
This is all due to observation though, and not attempting to do it
myself.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.  But you'll probably just be
better off accessing the configuration file directly.

Sounds like good stuff.  If you can, let me know if that plugin for the
Qube3 is ever released.
