Ooops, you're right! :/
Maybe we could use simply (mis)use the webapp display name (the 
/web-app/display-name element in web.xml) to differentiate them?

Maybe we could add an option in local.build.properties to delete 
yanel.xml and/or realms.xml from WAR so that for the case of deployment 
we can try to load them 1st, and only when not present then fallback to 
the other newly-introduced strategies?
