Allow service profiles to be combined

Just wondering how much interest there would be in being able to activate multiple service profiles.
This would enable combing base services with functional service, such as WindowsServer+MSSQL, Linux+Apache+MYSQL.

The approaches I have thought about are :
1 - stop using services.cfg and list the active service profiles in honey.cfg
Honey.py can iterate through the described services
this would allow for service profiles to be commented in/out pretty easy

[Services]
services.windows.profile
services.mssql.profile
//service.foo.profile

2 - stop using service.cfg and instead use a folder etc/active
Honey.py can read any file in etc/active, this would allow for symlinks from etc/profile

  1. Allow service profiles to be nested using an Include primitive.

I think this is a great idea. Would the expectation be the user manages the symlinks?

Yes, users can create symlinks or copy the file. That's how Apache confs work in Debian, or did (been a while).

We can make it backward compatible, by leaving service.cfg as is, and adding the config option ActiveServiceProfilePath='etc/active'.
