Mmmm, well, I think there was some reason I made configurableClass an
attribute - probably so Configurator can check that it is getting the
right types of instances. But that's not important. And you can look at
a Configurator and see what it configures. But if it bothers you a lot
feel free to refactor the API and fix up twisted.coil.plugins.
The factory is optional, and would have to be a class method, and python
doesn't do class methods in a nice way before python 2.2. It could be an
instance method, but that's just icky, it's a factory after all. So the
factory has to be a separare argument to registerConfigurator.
