-Configuration setting at startup and changing at runtime happens through one of these:
-- stdin at startup (TODO: see if we can keep listening while running) (write command to it + "\n")
-- fifo (write command to it + "\n")
-- socket (uzblctrl -s <file> -c <comand>

-** Command syntax:
-commands can have no, one or 2 arguments.
-
-<command>[\t<arg1>[\t<arg2>]]
-
-The 'bind' command is a special command, where argument 1 is a keyboard character (combo) and argument 2 is a command as specified above.
-You can also use a '_' in the <chars> part to denote where you pass on whatever you want, which will be replaced into the specififed command whereever %s is mentioned
-
-** commands
-Commands where one of the arguments is "parameter" expect this arugment to be a valid variable identifier (eg uzbl.behave.status_format)
-
-set parameter value # make sure the value complies with the datatype.
-toggle parameter # expects parameter to be a gboolean. (eg status, insert_mode, ..)
-get parameter
-bind <chars> <command>
-script <JS code to execute>
-script_file <filename containing JS code to execute>
-back
-forward
-scroll_vert <int>
-scroll_horz <int>
-reload
-reload_ign_cache
-stop
-zoom_in
-zoom_out
-spawn <filename for process to start asynchronously>
-exit
-search <string>
-
-The 'set' command may do more then just set the variable. eg 'set uri' commands will also cause uzbl to navigate to the uri.
