[esb-dev] remove bus/provider requirement

[Burr Sutter]

Are you referring to the entries at the top of a jboss-esb.xml?

The value I almost saw in it was that I could easily change from JMS to 
FTP or vice versa by simply changing the top of the file.  However, you 
still have to find all the references to the busid in the various 
listener sections and update them as well.
