Right now, there is no more files other than the configuration file, 
LXCPATH/$name/config.
So I merged LXCPATH/$name and the config file, the $name is the 
configuration file.

lxc-sshd and lxc-debian were changed to use the new option 
lxc.mount.entry, so these scripts don't have to generate an extra fstab 
file.

The lxc.mount option is still valid and I don't plan to remove this option.

I wouldn't say 'bad' :), it adds more complexity around the 
configuration and we are trying to simplify it.
The other point is looking for different file format adds more overhead, 
I know it's ridiculous, but the door is open for adding more and more. I 
am planning to run 5000 containers on the same host, it will better to 
not look for what is the configuration file format :)
