Maybe many tiny sqlite databases? Then you would not need to to centralize your data in a single database, but still do queries across different config files.

SQLite is a huge win. All the power of SQL, and you don't have to introduce system-wide and non-local dependencies.

How is this a win? Instead of opening a text file we have to write update statements to change any setting. Sql is itself a verbose language that should have been discarded in the 80's.
