[wildfly-dev] Creating config files for provisioned servers

[Stan Silvert]

I think it sounds good.  Kabir's question was my only concern.

I believe that I'll not need to create a new config file with different 
supplements, but I'll need to specify different supplements based on 
which config file I'm modifying.

In other words, if I'm adding the keycloak subsystem to standalone.xml, 
I want one supplement.  If I'm adding keycloak subsystem to domain.xml, 
I want a different supplement.
