[jboss-as7-dev] [Proposal] Create minimal distribution as generic service container

[Thomas Diesler]

This probably needs to be a community driven effort. A "product in its 
own right" actually triggers an armada of jboss/redhat folks to do 
additional work on top of what we put out as a community project. This 
would only be done if justified by sufficient interest.

A good starting point would be to modify the build such that is supports 
configurable subsystems. From a modular service container perspective 
it's probably worth to stick with the standards and use the osgi only 
profile.
