I can see this approach - the master config having some member config
objects with reduced scope.  But for this approach to be followed
consistently the ShellConfiguration should be held in the
DefaultServerConfiguration by a shared_ptr, not a CachedPtr (and it
should not strong references to anything that isn't another
configuration object.)
