Hey, this is interesting stuff! I think, it can be a good addition for
PropertiesConfiguration (and if somebody comes up with an idea how to make this
generic, for other configuration implementations as well).

Some remarks about your code:

- Did you test what happens if the directives appear in wrong order, e.g. an
%else without a corresponding %if? Maybe it would make sense to throw a
ConfigurationException then.

- It would be a good idea to define constants for the names of the directives,
in case they should be changed or a different start token (instead of %) should
be used.

- I assume there will be a problem with your implementation if a reloading
strategy is set for the Configuration object. This is because you invoke some
accessor methods, which trigger the reloading (an ugly side effect of the tight
coupling between a configuration and its reloading strategy). To work around
this issue you can call the enterNoReload() and exitNoReload() methods defined
in AbstractFileConfiguration.

In any case: Many thanks for your work!
