[isabelle-dev] Must the AFP be used as a component?

I would recommend that mira incorporates AFP as component, since this is
what we regularly recommend to users also.

what is »the« settings file in that case?  Currently there are
* the ancient mira template mechanism with its settings templates which
had always been a tendency to be ignored, increasing over time
* three mira instances (whose exact purpose is not clear to me ad-hoc)

Btw. these settings files would have been typically candidates for the
config-tum repository.  The mira template mechanism coule then be abandoned.
