Doesn't exist today (unfortunately)... probably not too hard since you don't have to modify machine state. Just read data, set properties... let XmlConfig do all the heavy lifting (aka: install/uninstall/rollback/etc.).

I can imagine an XmlSearch or an AppSettingsSearch tag would be a nice way to solve this. Is there such an animal? If not, how difficult would it be to write one?
