Build Identifier: RTSC/XDCTools 3.20.01.42

Anthony Berthet's input:
a) The original point was that the graphical BIOS cfg is divided in tabs/sections and you do not have a complete overview of all the setting at once. If you look at the scripting version there is not 1 single file but multiple files that make up the configuration which make it difficult to have a complete overview. Additionnally you need to find where those files are located.
 
Is there somewhere 1 single script file that shows the complete config that will be used for the config during the aplication build?
 
- In BIOS 5.x most of the time the .tcf was including it all (still it was calling some .tci fle sometimes). You could as well look at the .s62 file to see what BIOS config has been built.

Jon Rowland's response: There is a generated listing file "Debug/configPkg/package/cfg/<programname>.cfg.xml" that contains all the configuration settings for the modules. However, users may find that this is too much information about the modules (e.g. only wants to see non-default values) and not enough about the instances (e.g. tasks) which are not included at all. Options include enhancing this file, or produce a utility similar to the BIOS5 cdbprint, or to enhace the GUIS presentation.

Reproducible: Always

Suggested ideas
---------------
1. Add XSL stylesheet and a SGAPP viewer
2. Tidyup XML output so that it works well with diff tools like beyond compare
