[higgins-dev] Configuration changes ready to check in

[Greg Byrd <gbyrd@xxxxxxxx>]

I made some changes to the XML configuration classes to allow for the more sophisticated Reference type that Tom asked for.  This is a breaking change, but only if you call an ISettingHandler or have written your own -- there is an additional argument added to ISettingHandler.getSetting().

The new ReferenceHandler will allow a reference to be specified as a "path" from the top-level setting, or from the parent setting.  Both maps and lists are supported.  See Bug 198010 (link below) for more info.

Unless I hear an objection, I'll check these in on Monday (7/30).

Not sure whether this should be part of M0.9 or not.
