They're not mutually exclusive. libifconfig handles the low level
information gathering, and ifconfig formats it for output to the user.
One could still make ifconfig use libxo for formatting the output. I
just happen to be working on libifconfig lately and am using the flua
binding for testing. Outputting JSON for the available configuration
information is simply a practical demonstration of the flua binding,
it's not the end goal.
