Sorry the commit was incomplete, this test assumes the configuration

AbstractConfiguration delegating to
StrictConfigurationComparator.compare() but I'm not sure it's worth
committing this. What do you think ? I'll fix the test if we rule out
this suggestion.

I am not too convinced about the value of an equals() method either.
Comparing two Configuration objects does not seem to be such a common
task. And if it is needed, the comparator class can be used directly. If
there was an equals() method, how would you implement hashCode()?
hashCode() could be implemented as the sum of the hashCodes of the keys,
or as the number of properties in the configuration.
