Too much rope.

Another alternate idea may be to have James expose configuration settings in
2 levels.

- External configuration - config.xml
and
- Internal configuration - say config-defaults.xml. This is for advanced
users. End users would not be expected to change this, but if they really
do, then there is no need to recompile code. smtp* properties, authoritative
tag in dns server(has generated a lot of traffic and should really not be
changed), all hardcoded defaults could go in this.

At boot time, the 2 files could get merged into one config object. This
unfortunatly may require changes to Avalon, but it should be a simple change
in ConfigurationBuilder.
