Thank you for your help.
   
  Yes, my original thought was to use the conf mechanism.  However, as Xavier 
suggested, i do need configurations at the submodule level.  In addition, the 
complexity of the project makes declaring and maintaining confs at the product 
level difficult.  I do understand that this is a sign that the architecture of 
our product needs some refactoring.  That's on my list of things to do.
   
  Though, the "extra attributes" mechanism sounds like it would work perfectly. 
 Thanks for pointing that out.

This has been suggested in another thread (the same message has been posted
twice). But Scott may need configurations in sub modules, in which case
configuration support of Ivy may be too limited (no way to express
configuration intersections for instance).
