I like single config files too. This is kind of a different
experiment. I was basically thinking about the .svn and CVS dirs in
a repository and thought "Hey, it'd be cool to do something similar
in an app server.... Maybe neat to put meta-data about the directory
layout *in* the directory layout."
I'm not sure myself what kinds of meta-data you'd want to put in the
dot files vs the config file. Figure that answer will come to me
after created the prototype and applied it to a problem or two.
