Initializing service skeleton with init_with_conf

Service skeleton's function init_with_conf is not called.
In Axis2/C-1.6.0 all works perfectly, but in current trunk of Axis2/C-1.7.0 this function is never called.

As I see in conf_init.c service initialization with AXIS2_SVC_SKELETON_INIT_WITH_CONF is now commented out.

But why?

For example, I use this function (init_with_conf) to work with axis2_conf at init time: should made some work before any service operation (where axis2_conf is also available) is called.

Is there any other methods to get axis2_conf within service_init function?
