Plugin configuration
Given the example of an SSL plugin, ICE is prescribing which configuration properties are legal to use (for IceCS these are defined in PropertyNames.cs).
However, they are not of much use when working with a platform where OpenSSL is not the established way. Could there be a way that the plugin passes a list of suitable property names to Ice?
This could be done in Ice.Plugin.create() before the plugin class is instantiated, but it would require some changes in Communicator so that some properties can be loaded later.
Another option would be not to prescribe such properties at all and leave them to the plugin to load. In .NET there is an established way to do that (the System.Configuration classes), so it is not that much work.
