Not sure at this stage. I did servconf.c mostly because the new macro hell
makes it easier to keep the serialisation/deserialisation functions in sync
with changes to options, etc.

readconf.c has no need for serialisation support, as we haven't (so far)
privilege-separated the client. There is some desire to do this, so we
can sandbox the network code on the client side, but it is a *lot* of
work.
