Just a note about version...
As long as config is managed using Serialize(Stream&), I usually tend to version this Serialize, which means it is usually upward compatible.
In the same time, there are compatibility checks in the code, which means wrong config file is refused.
So far, I little cared about this in my Win32 applications, using single config file place for years (literally - some of .cfg files in IDIS were indeed created first in 1999  . Sometimes configuration is lost when uploading a new version of software, but I guess this is something that is to be expected anyway.
If I understand issues well, I see the advantage of $VERSION only if you consider downgrading software, or perhaps running several versions at once, correct?
(Note: This is just a description of things as they are, not an argument against $VERSION).
