Hi,

I have sent a PR https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/pull/546 to solve the problem with following changes :

1. Support to be able to configure shindig.properties as an external configuration file by setting the location path via {gatein.gadgets.dir} property. Of course, It sill be kept backward compatibility if the property is NOT set.

2. Splitting the default features.txt into two files : default-features.txt and online-features.txt. So customers can ignore online-features.txt if they want to run product in offline mode.

Please let me know if I missed something.
