No, I'd say "team" hits it right on the nose.

You can grab the 1.2.5 release and get everything that comes with Barracuda 
including the source to BConfig...
http://barracudamvc.org/downloads/barracuda-1.2.5.zip

That said, I'm not sure BConfig is the best app to base your application 
on.  It was a bit of an experiment.  I'll let Christian expand on this as 
he was BConfig's original author (as well as the original author of 
Barracuda itself).  You might look at the login app, the examples and 
tutorials, the Disc Rack app, and contrib apps by Diez B. Roggisch and 
Stefan Armbruster.  The BConfig app is based on keeping a single large DOM 
in memory and marking parts of it invisible.  It seems to work, but it can 
be limiting.  I would definitely look into Diez' "Pages" framework which 
sits on top of Barracuda and also utilizes some nifty XMLC 
functionality.  See the following doc describing the contrib packages and 
how to use them...
http://barracudamvc.org/Barracuda/docs/contrib_package.html

BTW, I would recommend that you obtain the latest CVS source.  There are 
always bugs being fixed and features being tweaked and using the latest CVS 
will give you access to all of that.

Jake
