Description

In some cases configurations are used to represent several axis, eg the platform, the usage (client or server), ...
In these cases it would be nice to:

• be able to declare dependencies on a module in the intersection of several of its configurations
• be able to resolve a module dependencies only in an intersection of its configurations

The suggested way to express the configuration intersection is to separate the configurations by a +. Eg A+B. Indeed a & would be nice but it needs to be escaped in xml so this is not very convenient.
