I haven't looked at commons configuration in years.  I'm randomly
perusing it now.  I like what i see.  It does seem a bit heavy, but i
suppose it provides a lot more config options than we currently do.
Considering Engine's position as a library/component project, that's a
plus.  Let people configure as they need.  I also like their support
for configuration events; interesting possibilities there.
