	Not directly. The way to say "only run dump conduits" is to say
"don't run any fetch conduits; don't run any sync conduits", which you
express as follows:

	conduit Fetch {
		final;
	}
	conduit Sync {
		final;
	}

For each conduit flavor, for each database, ColdSync just runs through the
conduits in the order in which they're listed in .coldsyncrc (which is why
I think of it as a very small and specialized programming language, rather
than a config file).
	You can't tell ahead of time in which order the different
databases will be processed, but you can determine in which order the
conduits for a given database will be run.
