You definitely want to keep config. It's used for lots of things, for
example you can add and delete applications there. Just make sure your
root component has the class method #canBeRoot answering true, otherwise
it won't show up in selections.

Kinda strange not wanting to use web interface when developing web apps,
but anyway

YourRootComponent class >> initialize

self registerAsApplication: 'myapp'

Call initialize manually once, the system will only execute it when you
load code. After that it's http://server/seaside/myapp (those are
applications, not subdirs)
