OK, I will add object's setters soon , so one thing left should be document object properties.

1.9 is going to be the fourth release when vhosts are created with dg.
It means that in many cases , you even do not touch vhost configuration file.
So, we will just drop it in favour of MidgardConfigFile.
If not , we should use both dcfg->config and other members for some time.

Yep. This requires some mgd struct management. 
Lang member in midgard struct is an integer which points to current lang.
All object "methods" require mgd struct as parameter. 

So we have two choices:
 
1. ( for you only ) 
	Make midgard-java class which is a wrapper for mgd struct. With some set(get)_lang method.
	Add class methods.

2. ( mandatory ) 
	Remove midgard struct in favour of MidgardConfig and MidgardConnection objects.
 
Multilang reflection is impossible right now. Of course for object's properties.
