This is exactly the sort of usage of the ResouceLoader that I complained
about earlier. Let me elaborate.

Over the past years I have helped a significant number of java
developers to get started with MMBase. One thing I noticed is that
understanding the configuration is made a lot easier by the fact that
all configuration files reside in one location, i.e. WEB-INF/config.
If we introduce a set of default config files in an entirely different
location (i.e. in the classpath), the opposite will be achieved, making
it hard to understand the configuration. 

Perhaps all this isn't a problem to the commiters on this mailinglist.
But for most developers it will be very confusing.
