I have a windows service that loads multiple "handlers" written by different developers. The windows service exe has it's own app.config which I need.

I'm trying to make it so that each developer can provide their own app.config along with their handler code. However, it seems an exe can only have one app.config. However, ASP.NET seems to support nested web.config... That's not exactly what I want, but I don't even know how I would get that to work in a windows service.

Anyone come across this before or have any ideas?
