I currently have lots of ivy modules (with native code) setup using 
configurations as a way to subset the artifacts for the different platforms I 
support: win32, win64, linux32, linux64, and solaris.  Then all of my 
dependency declarations use "*->@" so that resolving win32 conf of module A 
will get win32 conf of module B, win64 conf of module A will get win64 conf of 
module B, etc.  This works great.

However, my trouble is that I would like to further subset my modules in a 
different way other than platform.  Something like: client and server.  This 
subsetting is a completely different axis then subsetting by platform so I need 
both at the same time.  In other words, I need something like:  win32 client 
artifacts, linux64 server artifacts, etc.  I essentially need to specify the 
intersection of two configuration names and have the artifacts that only exist 
in both configurations get resolved.

Is this possible?  I would think this might be a popular enhancement for those 
using ivy for native code modules.


Without this feature, I have to declare 5 (number of platforms) * 2 (number of 
distribution types) = 10 configurations:

win32-client
win32-server
win64-client
win64-server
linux32-client
linux32-server
linux64-client
linux64-server
solaris-client
solaris-server

Imagine the headache if I had more than 5 platforms and more than 2 
distribution types.
