web-config

One of the downsides of web.config/app.config is that it's just Magic Strings everywhere, since it's just an XML file.

Interpreted languages like PHP or Ruby have the advantage that the configuration is just code that is executed. In .net, doing stuff in code requires a redeployment, which defeats the purpose.

Now, before I build my own web.config replacement based on Boo or PowerShell I wanted to know if there is an existing one?
