What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Why do you think it's a
good idea for your extensions to not use the base system's configuration?
It's very easy to construct examples in which such an extension build
would flat out not work with the base system, so your requirement really
has to be that the extension deviate in just limited ways from the base
--- but you've not said in just what ways you want it to deviate.
