Andreas, 

That's what I'm currently doing, personally creating one master features.xml
file for the application.  The problem is, as the functionality of the
application grows, and/or as the dependencies within each functional area
grows, maintaining a single file becomes a burdensome task.

Borrowing a page from Agile, I'm thinking about pushing down the task of
maintaining each functional area's provisioning file to the folks who are
actually developing that area of functionality.  Then, during compile-time,
aggregate them all into a master provisioning file for the application.  The
folks who know best what technologies are needed are the implementers, so
doing this seems a logical thing.

As small OSGi applications grow in complexity, this kind of functionality
seems like something we'd want to provide (assuming it isn't already
present).
