We'll have to take a decision here in the future:
1) either we provide a configuration per component
2) or we provide a global configuration

I prefer 1) because:
- a component is encapsulated completely in a JAR
- a component shouldn't  see by default configuration from other  
components. It's these other components who should offer APIs to  
return configuration data if required
