Description

A modular initializer, i.e. a TilesInitializer that loads "modules of configuration" would be an interesting features.
This initializer could work as an "initializer of the initializers:

For each MANIFEST.MF file that it finds, it tries to find a:
Tiles-Initializers
property, that is a comma-separated list of initializer classes. These initializers will be then instantiated and executed one after the other.

The MANIFEST.MF files include the one defined inside a WAR too (inside META-INF at WAR level and at WEB-INF/classes/META-INF level).
Every "child initializer" can set it's own application context, container and container key.
