Only the ones under src/start directory need to be in the ofbiz.jar
file.
While we could move those to the config directory, they would need to
go in a sub-directory or something so we would know which ones to copy
into the jar file.
Of course, for the ones below the src/start directory what would we
gain by moving them? We still couldn't change them without rebuilding
the jar... and it would mean looking in two places for the stuff in
that jar file instead of one...

In my opinion it is counter intuitive to search for them under the
src folder.
Most important: you have to recompile the base component after you
edit them.
I guess there are some technical reasons for doing this, probably
becayse the config files need to be included into the ofbiz.jar
file: but maybe we may try to create a new ant task that just
recreate the ofbiz.jar file without recompiling the sources by
copying the config files from the config folder; and we could name
the new task with a seft explanatory name, for example "deploy-
config-files"
I know this is not a big issue but IMO it is important to fix these
small details before the framework release.
What do you think?
