RE: URI formats are not supported

Configuration watching is available when configuring programmatically,
just use the ConfigureAndWatch method, however you are right in that
watching is only available for config loaded from a local file.

When loading config from a Stream or an XmlElement the built-in file
system watching cannot be used to monitor the configuration data.

I have added support in CVS for loading config via a URI, this also does
not support watching the config source for changes as the
FileSystemWatcher only operates on local file systems. The CVS version
now also supports attribute based config loading for no touch
deployment.
