we could, but makes less sense IMO since the user has to be on the cli 
anyway for putting the script somewhere?

if we'd put it on the gui, i'd say yes definitely, but currently it
won't gain us much. We'd then have to either
* write another note to do 'pmgconfig sync' (maybe with '--restart 1' ?)
* or add a new 'pmgconfig set' command to the cli (which would be
   beneficial in any case i guess) and document that in the docs.
