Guys, your problem is that you want to make a single configuration work  
everywhere.
A configs serve to be working on a specific platform / version , and  
hardcoding is on purpose, that you specify settings for specific  
platform/environment.
If you change system/environment, it will not work anymore, and to adapt  
config for other system, you either make a subclass, or fresh new class,  
where you again hardcode everything.
I prefer to have multiple classes per each platform/version than a single  
one with lots of IFs and case statements, because at some point you getting  
lost in them and no longer can understand why it fails.
