/**
 * @class AliHLTConfiguration
 * @brief Description of HLT processing chains.
 *
 * This class describes a configuration for an HLT component by means of
 * the following parameters:
 * - configuration id:      a unique id string/name
 * - component id:          id returned by AliHLTComponent::GetComponentID()
 * - parent configuartions: ids of configurations it requires input from
 * - component arguments:   passed to the component when it is initialized
 *
 * The definition of a configuration requires simply the creation of an object
 * of type @ref AliHLTConfiguration. 
 * <pre>
 * AliHLTConfiguration myprocessor("MyProcessor", "Dummy", "publisher", "-output_percentage 80")
 * </pre>
 *
 * The Configuration is automatically registered in the list of available
 * configurations maintained by the @ref AliHLTConfigurationHandler.
 * The list is used to resolve the dependencies on other configurations.
 * Hierarchies can be built up by specifying the configuration id of parent
 * configurations as input in the .
 * A configuration entry is persistent and must be explicitly removed from
 * the AliHLTConfigurationHandler if desired.
 *
 * The registration mechanism requires the HLT system to be available. The
 * global instance of AliHLTSystem is created and retrieved by
 * <pre>
 * // setup the HLT system
 * AliHLTSystem* pHLT=AliHLTPluginBase::GetInstance();
 * </pre>
 *
 * A configuration is transformed into a list of AliHLTTask objects by the
 * function AliHLTSystem::BuildTaskList().
 *
 * This class is only used in the HLT offline environment, see @ref alihlt_system
 * for more details.
