------------------------------------------

@Steve: Good points. Thaks. I verified that all of the issues you mentioned is 
actually handled by the Xerces library. It can detect recursive includes. The 
hadoop Configuration.get() method generates an RuntimeException when this 
occurs. 

I plan to commit this patch to 0.20 and trunk.

> Allow Xinclude in hadoop config file
