Note that most of the real configuration functionality is done in stored 
procedures and not in slony. Slony basically is a tool that can hold 
multiple DB connections open at the same time and calls stored 
procedures. This was intentional to allow admin interfaces from other 
languages like perl to be implemented even without using slonik at all.
