The basepath stuff is quite complicated I agree and it's not a part I like to
deal with, however it's still a useful feature and I believe we should keep it.
I'm not favorable to drop the URL, it's the reference to locate the file, I see
the basepath and the filename as byproducts of the URL.

I placed the utility methods getBasePath and getFileName in ConfigurationUtils
but this may not be the best place for them. The logic dealing with paths and
urls may be best placed in AbstractFileConfiguration.
