#480: syskit: not possible to define composition/action-depended device
configurations

I want to set different device-configuration for a device (e.g. sonar)
dependent on the composition with is executed.

I need the sonar in a 360deg scanning mode (conf 'default' and/or
'harbour'), if we do wall-servoing we need only to scan a defined part of
the sonar-range.

In the past it was possible to define in the profile section something
like this:

define "wall_servoing",
Wall::Servoing.use(sonar_dev.with_conf('default','wall_right')

define "localozcation",
Localization::Particle.use(sonar_dev.with_conf('default'))

However this is not possible anymore, the with_conf set's a global mark on
the sonar itself with is not composition dependent anymore.


Currently i have workarounded it in the start-stop-hooks of the
compositions, i don't know if this functionality got lost by the syskit
port and this is a enhancement, or a bug...
