I have added the ability to make what I call add directives. For example, in a
module, if you add a new folder called "configuration-directives" and a file
called "add.xml" in a module, you will have created a configuration directive
for the default "configuraion.xml" file for that module. If you would like to
make an add directive for a different file, say "myconfig.xml", you would
change the name of the add directive file by simply appending -add.xml to the
file name. So, add directive for "myconfig.xml" would go in a file called
"myconfig-add.xml."

The contents of add directives can either be simple or complex or a combination
of both. For example, a configuration directive may simply make simple
additions:

<config>
  <property1>myValue</property1>
  <property2>myValue2</property2>
</config>

In this example, this add directive specifies that the simply properties
property1 and property2 should be added to configuration.xml.

A complex example is as follows:

<config>
  <complexProperty>
    <name1>myValue</name1>
    <name2>myValue2</name2>
    <name3>myValue3</name3>
  </complexProperty>
</config>

In this example, this add directive specifies that this complex property with
three parts should be added to configuration.xml.

At this stage, I have decided not to add remove or change directives, as
further discussion is necessary regarding whether such directives are
desirable, and if so, how they should work.

Closing this bug.
