Re[2]: Patch-module with dynamic layer creating.

[Alex Sviridov]

Hi Alan

Maybe it is necessary to add possibility to have equal control for boot layer and
other layers. Because layers are graph but at this moment we can do for boot layer
more then for others -> if we work with non boot layers we must use another 
solutions -> different solutions within one technology is not good.

For example we could pass something like String[] args when we create custom layer.
