It could be useful to include it in the list output, eg
instead of

ncftool> list --all
eth0
eth1
lo
ppp0

have

ncftool> list --all
eth0   UP
eth1   UP
lo     UP
ppp0   DOWN

or some less crude formatting

I don't think it is relevant there, because whether an interface is up
or down is not configuration information.
