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.

I'm not too worried about file conflicts. I think that it will be
highly unlikely.

Not sure. If you have to put such a file in the deploy dir, it may
conflict
with files to deploy, or may confuse the user.
I also think that a single configuration file would be handy, where
all
directories would be configured.

Why "hide" information in dot files? I personally prefer
something like
xbean-directive.xml so that when I jump into a directory I can
plainly
see what kind of shenanigans are going on. Just a thought.
