I would love to change this name. I did not come from an Ivy

I have also always felt that using configurations to store paths and
to specify a distribution archive were two very different uses that
didn't belong together. I would like to see the archive part
pulled out into another concept.
To me, the core of configurations are named dependencies. I like:
dependencyNames {
compile
openAPI
}
dependencies {
compile 'commons-io:commons-io:1.4'
}
I think "paths" are a little too generic. And paths.compile.asPath
seems a little strange :)
If we call it paths, we could replace asPath with the toString method.
We don't have two different concepts here which share the same name.
