[opencms-dev] change opencms-system.xml with java code/site node

[Andy Bicksbo]

HI
i do not need to this during runtime....but it would be the best solution
for my tasks(build an admin module, whith witch the admin can do multisite
configuratation.)
I thought thebest way to edit the opencms-system.xml is to use some of the
provided opencms java classes, rather than writing my own package, to edit
this for example with dom4j or jdom (when rading this file there are some
additional problems to make the parser find the .dtd)
