- No longer need to teach it about new property files, we will auto-load anything under conf with that suffix.

- An IdPModule is a unit of function that can be individually enabled or disabled via command line.
- Plugins can expose any number of IdPModules after installation, and could auto-enable them.
- Generally this just involves managing a set of configuration resources by either copying them in or removing them (usually be saving them off, not deletion, but this will be controllable). Resources can be tagged as replace or noreplace, RPM-style.
- Most modules should be expressible with property files and a trivial subclass to add to the Java services file.
- Repeated enable/disable will be idempotent.
- "Disabled" modules may not be totally "off" but probably will operate with default, often unusable, settings.
- Many default config files (esp. for various subflows) will be removed or hidden in 4.1 behind disabled modules.
- Upgrades will act as though many modules are already enabled, and disabling them can be used to remove the files.
