-Writing the configuration file "config.xml"
-===========================================
-
-About "config.xml"
-------------------
-
-The file **config.xml** describes important data of the application
-to the framework:
-
-- the unique identifier of the application
-- the name of the application
-- the type of the application
-- the icon of the application
-- the permissions linked to the application
-- the services and dependancies of the application
-
-The file MUST be at the root of the widget and MUST be case sensitively name
-***config.xml***.
-
-The file **config.xml** is a XML file described by the document
-[widgets].
-
-Example of "config.xml"
------------------------
-
-Here is the example of the config file for the QML application SmartHome.
-
-```xml
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" id="smarthome" version="0.1">
- <name>SmartHome</name>
- <icon src="smarthome.png"/>
- <content src="qml/smarthome/smarthome.qml" type="text/vnd.qt.qml"/>
- <description>
- This is the Smarthome QML demo application.
- It shows some user interfaces for controlling an automated house.
- The user interface is completely done with QML.

-
-Standard elements of "config.xml"
----------------------------------
-
-### The element widget
-
-#### the attribute id of widget
-
-The attribute *id* is mandatory (for version 2.x, blowfish) and must be unique.
-
-Values for *id* are any non empty string containing only latin letters,
-arabic digits, and the three characters '.' (dot), '-' (dash) and
-'_' (underscore).
-
-Authors can use a mnemonic id or can pick a unique id using
-command **uuid** or **uuidgen**.
-
-#### the attribute version of widget
-
-The attribute *version* is mandatory (for version 2.x, blowfish).
-
-Values for *id* are any non empty string containing only latin letters,
-arabic digits, and the three characters '.' (dot), '-' (dash) and
-'_' (underscore).
-
-Version values are dot separated fields MAJOR.MINOR.REVISION.
-
-### The element content
-
-The element *content* is mandatory (for version 2.x, blowfish) and must designate a file
-(subject to localisation) with its attribute *src*.
-
-The content designed depends on its type. See below for the known types.
-
-### The element icon
-
-The element *icon* is mandatory (for version 2.x, blowfish) and must
-be unique. It must designate an image file with its attribute *src*.
-
-Known widget types and content
-------------------------------
-
-The configuration file ***/etc/afm/afm-launch.conf*** defines the types
-of widget known and how to launch it.
-
-Known types for the type of content are (for version 2.x, blowfish):
-
-- ***text/html***:
- HTML application,
- content.src designates the home page of the application
-
-- ***application/x-executable***:
- Native application,
- content.src designates the relative path of the binary
-
-- ***application/vnd.agl.url***:
- Internet url,
- content.src designates the url to be used
-
-- ***application/vnd.agl.service***:
- AGL service defined as a binder,
- content.src designates the directory of provided binders,
- http content, if any, must be put in the subdirectory ***htdocs*** of the widget
-
-- ***application/vnd.agl.native***:
- Native application with AGL service defined as a binder,
- content.src designates the relative path of the binary,
- bindings, if any must be put in the subdirectory ***lib*** of the widget,
- http content, if any, must be put in the subdirectory ***htdocs*** of the widget
-
-- ***text/vnd.qt.qml***, ***application/vnd.agl.qml***:
- QML application,
- content.src designate the relative path of the QML root,
- imports must be put in the subdirectory ***imports*** of the widget
-
-- ***application/vnd.agl.qml.hybrid***:
- QML application with bindings,
- content.src designate the relative path of the QML root,
- bindings, if any must be put in the subdirectory ***lib*** of the widget,
- imports must be put in the subdirectory ***imports*** of the widget
-
-- ***application/vnd.agl.html.hybrid***:
- HTML application,
- content.src designates the home page of the application,
- bindings, if any must be put in the subdirectory ***lib*** of the widget,
- http content must be put in the subdirectory ***htdocs*** of the widget
-
-
-AGL features
-------------
-
-The AGL framework uses the feature tag for specifying security and binding
-requirement of the widget.
-
-The current version of AGL (up to 2.0.1, blowfish) has no fully implemented
-features.
-
-The features planned to be implemented are described below.
-
-### feature name="urn:AGL:required-binding"
-
-List of the bindings required by the widget.
-
-Each required binding must be explicited using a <param> entry.
-
-#### param name=[required binding name]
-
-The value is either:
-
-- required: the binding is mandatorily needed except if the feature
-isn't required (required="false") and in that case it is optional.
-- optional: the binding is optional
-
-### feature name="urn:AGL:required-permission"
-
-List of the permissions required by the widget.
-
-Each required permission must be explicited using a <param> entry.
-
-#### param name=[required permission name]
-
-The value is either:
-
-- required: the permission is mandatorily needed except if the feature
-isn't required (required="false") and in that case it is optional.
-- optional: the permission is optional
-
-### feature name="urn:AGL:provided-binding"
-
-Use this feature for each provided binding of the widget.
-The parameters are:
-
-#### param name="name"
-
-REQUIRED
-
-The value is the string that must match the binding prefix.
-It must be unique.
-
-#### param name="src"
-
-REQUIRED
-
-The value is the path of the shared library for the binding.
-
-#### param name="type"
-
-REQUIRED
-
-Currently it must be ***application/vnd.agl.binding.v1***.
-
-
-#### param name="scope"
-
-REQUIRED
-
-The value indicate the availability of the binidng:
-
-- private: used only by the widget
-- public: available to allowed clients as a remote service (requires permission+)
-- inline: available to allowed clients inside their binding (unsafe, requires permission+++)
-
-#### param name="needed-binding"
-
-OPTIONAL
-
-The value is a space separated list of binding's names that the binding needs.
-
-### feature name="urn:AGL:defined-permission"
-
-Each required permission must be explicited using a <param> entry.
-
-#### param name=[defined permission name]
-
-The value is the level of the defined permission.
-Standard levels are:
-
-- system
-- platform
-- partner
-- public
-
-This level defines the level of accreditation required to get the given
-permission. The accreditions are given by signatures of widgets.
