      Some protocols (e.g. RELAY2 or FORK) need additional configuration, which is usually defined in a separate XML file, e.g.

      <FORK config="/home/bela/fork-stacks.xml"/>

      File fork-stacks.xml is:

      <fork-stacks xmlns="fork-stacks">
    <fork-stack id="counter">
        <config>
            <COUNTER bypass_bundling="true"/>
            <COMPRESS/>
        </config>
    </fork-stack>

   <fork-stack id="locking">
       <config>
           <CENTRAL_LOCK num_backups="2"/>
       </config>
   </fork-stack>
</fork-stacks>

      It would be nice to be able to optionally define such additional configuration inline, e.g.

      <FORK>
  <fork-stacks xmlns="fork-stacks">
      <fork-stack id="counter">
          <config>
              <COUNTER bypass_bundling="true"/>
              <COMPRESS/>
          </config>
      </fork-stack>

     <fork-stack id="locking">
         <config>
             <CENTRAL_LOCK num_backups="2"/>
         </config>
     </fork-stack>
  </fork-stacks>
</FORK>

      As the schema for config files is generated, we would have to able to tell the generator (XMLSchemaGenerator) to include a schema fragment defined by any protocol.
      A schema fragment could be defined via an annotation, e.g. @IncludeSchema(schema="fork-stacks.xsd".

      Investigate whether this is feasible.
