Does the Component implement Startable?  Seriously, all components in the
configuration file (cocoon.xconf) are fully initialized by the ECM when the
ECM is initialized.  This currently works in CVS.

I don't like this as it is a hack that should not be necessary.  Make
sure the initialize() method is called on ExcaliburComponentManager while
Cocoon is setting everything up.

My idea for any non-component elements in a configuration file would be
for global context information (additional values in Context).
