Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in

Add support for overriding checkstyle configuration properties as part of
the check-configuration. This would enable deploying multiple
configurations using a single checkstyle configuration file (each
overriding some properties in the checkstyle config file).

Example:

<extension
id="checkstyle.CheckConfiguration"
point="com.atlassw.tools.eclipse.checkstyle.configurations">

<!-- uses the default "lineLength" property -->
<check-configuration
name="Our Checks (80)"
location="our_checks.xml"
description="%SunChecks.description"/>

<!-- sets the "lineLength" property to "100" -->
<check-configuration
name="Our Checks (100)"
location="our_checks.xml"
description="%SunChecks.description">
<property name="lineLength" value="100"/>
</check-configuration>

</extension>

Also, if you're willing to point me in the right direction. I wouldn't mind
putting together a patch for this.
