With 1.5 the Xerces dependency is no more needed.

There is some work going on for a Configuration 2.0 version which uses 
Java 1.5. We have a branch for this project. So the idea is that 2.0 
depends on Java 1.5 while the 1.x series remains on 1.4. Once 2.0 is 
released, there should only be bug-fix releases for 1.x. However, I fear 
there is still much work to do before 2.0 can be published.
