Item9254: configure Types need to be able to find out from Checkers if there are any special rendering bits.

for example, the Checker::PasswordManager should be able to tell the SELECTCLASS to disable the ApacheHtPassword implementation if Apache::Htpasswd is not installed.

similarly, other SELECTCLASS options should be able to hide, show or disable depending on pre-req's

Crawford - if you have ideas/directions on this, please help

The current architecture really doesn't allow for that.

It has long been my belief that the way ahead for configure is to move into the client side and use REST handlers to retrieve and set individual configuration items. It's a lot of work, but I think that'd the only way something like this is do-able.

At the moment, the best you can do is to warn when two settings are incompatible; the checkers can do that.

This has since been done. No action.
