Ticket #41 (new enhancement)

Description

Pustefix should support the development of modularized, component-based, applications.

A Pustefix component should be a deployable unit (like a ZIP or JAR file), with a defined directory structure, augmented with meta-information (like descriptor files). Components can be assembled to applications, whereas conventions and interfaces define how the components interact with the framework and other components (e.g. using services and extension points).
