from one side i would really like applications config listed in the setting 
app.
on the other hand, this can end up very quickly as a giant list.

in any case yeah if the module itself can be loaded as a plugin anywhere, we 
will be able to both display it in the app or in the config app.

for the config changes across process, don't see other solution than a file 
watcher, that is not so light, but shouldn't be as impactful as it seems 
anyways
