libmcs is just a small library which implements the actual storage
interface, which means it provides an interface for reading and writing
settings to a certain file. This has only little to do with how we
would organize our settings daemon.

However, I don't see how we would profit from using libmcs. By now it
provides only basic functionality, most of which is already implemented
in XfceRc.
