> The current format read by file install for configurations uses the java.util.Properties - this format does not support multi values and objects other than strings.
> As configurations usually use other types than string, it would be nice to support the richer format like for example the config admin implementation uses.
> To be compatible, I suggest we leave the old behaviour for ".cfg" files and use a new extension ".config" for the other format.
