If you think this is really v= aluable information, I think a better
approach is to store the plan(s) in a known location in the
configur= ation so they may be retrieved directly.

I thought of this as an option because it will really simplify a lot of things, and I can avoid writing a configuration decompiler :o).  But, then will there be any instances where the user will not want the deployment plan to be stored in the server as is?  Will "not want to store the deployment plan in the config-store" be ever a users' reason for supplying deployment plan as an external file to the deployer?
