Title: Config overriding through .yml files

Often certain config values are maintained by operations/support team, and bundling them with application binaries is not possible. or asking support to change the values every time after deployment doesn't work out smoothly.

Also there are situation, where some configuration is required to be shared among applications. in this cased a shared config can be a huge help.

I have made some change to ConfigurationFactory, which looks for .yml and shared.yml file in "user.home/.dw" directory. later merges contents of these two files with developer supplied .yml file.
