Switching all the plugins on or off in the nessusrc file, for example,
would be a massive job without help from a GUI tool. Is there a
supported tool for creating and editing nessusrc files?

Before I starting working for Tenable, I wrote one of these tools. It's 
a Perl script called update-nessusrc, and you can find it here:

   http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessusrc/

It's not a general-purpose config file editor; instead, its purpose is 
to help people enable / disable plugins in a config file from a 
commandline.

It's also not officially supported by me or Tenable, but it's
pretty straightforward to use once you get all the requisite Perl 
modules installed.
