Aw, it was nuthin :)

1. The intention wasn't so much to move configuration to ucwctl... it
   was more to make use of create-server which accepts the
   configuration stuff as its arguments. I don't think my changes
   should break the existing start.lisp... I haven't checked
   though. If you don't use ucwctl perhaps your start.lisp files will
   continue to work? Lemme know what it breaks and I'll see if I can
   fix what I've broken. 

   On a related note, would it be more useful to have the config stuff
   put into a separate ucw.conf file? I've written config-file asdf
   loaders before to handle that kinda stuff and it shouldn't be too
   difficult to do the same for UCW though I'd imagine such things
   possibly belong in final applications rather than UCW itself.

2. Go right ahead. Someone else has pointed out get-backend was a crap
   name. I wasn't really thinking too hard about the name when I wrote
   it.
