Jörg's patch made me realize that SubsetConfiguration could be much
shorter by extending AbstractConfiguration, the key translation just
happens in the add/getPropertyDirect methods, there is no need to
overwrite all the getters of the Configuration interface. I'm attaching
the modified implementation, let me know how it works for you. It
doesn't contain the interpolation changes, I'm still working on it.
