If you use linkconfig with a collection that does not exist, you end up with a 
collection *stub* in zookeeper that just contains the configName.  At that 
point you can create the collection manually with CoreAdmin or automatically 
with the Collection Admin, and I would expect that with the latter, you'd be 
able to leave out the collection.configName parameter.

If you use linkconfig with a collection that already exists, you can change 
which configName is linked to that collection.  This is an easy way to swap in 
a dev config on an existing collection.

Thanks,
Shawn
