I was thinking about something as simple as current setup.

ie

vois storeConfiguration( String application, 
                         String block, 
                         Configuration config );

I haven't really thought about how logging/security/threading can be 
reconfigured. Those changes would require an app shutdown - while changing a 
blocks configuration does not require that.

As I have hinted at in past I really really want to have one ConfigRepository 
stored in a directory (ala LDAP) to ease management.
