  That's a very interesting idea.  I am working on a standard web
app container, and I have always been dissatisfied with existing
packaging solutions (e.g. the Java WAR stuff).  A WAR allows to
have static install config in the package itself, but there is no
standard way of setting them interactively at deployment time.
The usual way is to write a specific wizard which is displayed
the first time a web app is run, but it would be nice to support
it directly in the package format...

  Good idea :-)
