KM: Trouble with XPProEmulation

Hi Mark,

You are right. It is really the number of the components to search.
Basically, the XPeTools/XPProEmulation component (not a good name for the
component, I guess :-( ) does not know beforehand how many components will
be added to the Configuration since it depends on the group filter you set.
Originally I did not have the filter field and that's why I called that
"number of components to be added to the configuration".
Anyway.. having good input from you, guys, I can change anything in the
component and I'll do that soon.

Btw, keep in mind also that there is a bug that I can't fix for the moment
(I don't have any docs on CMI, unfortunately :-( ). To see all the
components added to your Configuration you will need to save the
Configuration after the adding process is done, and re-open it again (will
take a while, though). But now it is only way to "activate" the
Configuration. The Activate button does not do much for now

I've also been thinking on some more useful components: search on registry
entries that belong to a component, merging two or more SLX configuration in
one, and etc. It is all possible with the CMI knowledge we have got for the
moment and as soon as I have time I'll work on that closely.
If you have anything in your mind that would be worth to implement, let me
know.

Thanks,
