Configuration file format

Hi all,

after discussing with Lachezar on this list I came up with the format below for the configuration file.

The attribute 'port' for the 'configuration' element is a server socket used to shutdown the configuration from remote.

A simple client like this does the job:

Socket socket = new Socket((String)null, 8872);
socket.getOutputStream().write("shutdown".getBytes());
socket.close();

It can be easily written in a public static void main(String[]) of a Shutdown class.

Comments are very welcome.
