My vote would be:
- Use separate files with expected names (config.yaml, shibboleth.yaml, etc)
- No includes
- Have C4::Context->config rebuild the 'old structure we already have, and deal
with a different new handling on a separate bug (Koha::Config singleton
implementation?)
- Have a way for C4::Context->config to override any configuration if an env
variable exists. e.g. KOHA_DATABASE_NAME should override the relevant entry.

My two cents as well
