RedHat's Augeas project might fit in the config middle layer:
http://augeas.net/

The website says: "Augeas is a configuration editing tool. It parses 
configuration files in their native formats and transforms them into a 
tree. Configuration changes are made by manipulating this tree and 
saving it back into native config files."
