Implementing Configuration for an ICodec

Codecs (objects which implement IMediaTypeReader or IMediaTypeWriter, which both descend from ICodec) require that you implement the ICodec interface:

    object Configuration { get; set; }

This configuration object corresponds directly to the single parameter taken by the TranscodedBy<TCodec>(object configuration) method when configuring using Fluent Configuration. For example,

    ResourceSpace.Has.ResourcesOfType<Customer>()
        .AtUri("/customer/{id}")
        .HandledBy<CustomerHandler>()
        // This anonymous object is used by the WebFormsCodec to decide which view to use
        .TranscodedBy<WebFormsCodec>(new { index = "~/Views/Customer.aspx" }); 

NB: Many codecs don't require a configuration, so this implementation will often do nothing.
