[Opensymphony-oscache] Configuration and Classloading questions

We're trying to integrate OSCache more tightly into our own configuration/control system; as such, we'd like to take control over the properties that are used to initialize the caches, and control over which listeners are initialised, and when.  Ideally, we'd like to be able to supply a classloader and a properties file to the administrator, request the cache, and run with it.

So, questions are:
 - How much do I need to do to take control of config?  I've tried overriding various internal methods on the admin object without getting particularly good or reliable behavior;
 - Is there a way to, and how might one supply, the ClassLoader instance to use to instantiate classes discovered through these properties, and if one can't, might I request that one could?  :)

Also, what's the state of current CVS, and how far away from being testable in-service is it, assuming that any changes would end up being part of the 3.0 line, and not the 2.1 releases?

Thanks,
Greg
