Adding additional configuration data
You can use the 'additional' attribute for stashing additional info,
especially from additional_data method, i.e.
$r->config->additional({foo=>bar});
Or..
If your modules need to store additional configuration data for their
own use or to make available to templates, add a line like this to your
module:
Maypole::Config->mk_accessors(qw(variable or variables));
Care is needed to avoid conflicting variable names.
