Expansions for collections in the XML configuration

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have noticed that collections of values in the XML configuration are not 
currently supported.

I have cloned the source and added in these features 
http://code.google.com/r/nicaog-autofac/ This will allow for properties and 
parameters that are IEnumerable, IEnumerable<T>, ICollection, ICollection<T>, 
IList, IList<T>, IDictionary, IDictionary<TKey, TValue> to be configured in 
xml. Conversion will be attempted for generic collections whose type parameters 
are not strings. Here is a brief syntax example.

  <component type="POCO">
    <properties>
      <property name="List">
        <list>
          <item value="Val1"/>
          <item value="Val2"/>
        </list>
      </property>
    </properties>
  </component>

  <component type="POCO">
    <properties>
      <property name="Dictionary">
        <dictionary>
          <item key="1" value="Val1"/>
          <item key="2" value="Val2"/>
        </dictionary>
      </property>
    </properties>
  </component>

I would appreciate if these features could be reviewed for inclusion into the 
trunk.

I would be happy to help update the wiki, or provide a patch file.

Thanks very much for following up. The changes look good, and the offer of help 
with the Wiki is much appreciated. I'll be able to look at this in a week or so 
and will update you then.
