Martin, your assumptions on configuring the assembly seem a bit wrong - read
the following articles for help with this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconcreatingnewsectionhandlers.asp

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpgrfaccessingaspnetconfigurationsettings.asp

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/gngrfappsettingselement.asp

To keep things simple at least to start with you might want to hold this
config info in appSettings then you don't have to create an
IConfigurationSectionHandler implementation in your class.

You're right about the file names for the configuration settings for windows
and asp.net apps.

For the commerce server pipeline component configuration settings, I'd try
putting them in the web.config file for the commerce server app that is
calling the pipeline and seeing if that works.
