This is precisely why I made the resource Componentized. It's far more 
convenient and less error-prone to do this than to attempt to make sure 
that a reference to your Configuration object is passed to every single 
child in your system.

Maybe it should be. I suppose that makes it possible for people to 
confuse an rpy with a cgi-like thing and write epy like scripts though. 
Maybe it's just an education issue.

Unfortunately you have to set it both in getChild and render on the 
root if you want to ensure it is always available. Slightly 
inconvenient.
