This patch is wrong, it shouldn't have been merged. I'll revert that 
portion.

We only want one configuration, the one that works :)

Note that this issue is limited to resource loading with elements on 
systemPaths. Reverting that patch will have no effect on performance or 
modularity, it will just fix the bug.
