You can use App config in middlewares if you apply them in the
application code (right before returning the callback).  In Nblog I
for serving the static files from location that is in the application
config I use Plack::App::File (and combine it with my own application
using Plack::App::URLMap) - in principle I could use any middleware in
the same way.  Is that too convoluted?
