Provide IConfigurationSource based registration helpers for Autofac

I want to be able to register config sections using IConfigurationSource.GetSection instead of ConfigurationManager.GetSection, without having to write multi-line methods for section and element types. Using Autofac as an example, the following or similar should be possible:

var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
builder.RegisterConfigurationSource<MySettings>("settings").As<ISettings>();
IContainer container = builder.Build();
var settings = container.Resolve<ISettings>(); // pulls from app / web.config by default

Would there be any value in adding another helper like builder.RegisterConfigurationInterfaces()? This would parse the individual sections and register them all as their implemented interfaces... I need a consensus from the Tribe on this...

Getting into Ninject with this would open a whole new can o' worms, so I'll leave that to issue #122. That reduces the scope of this issue to something pretty digestible.
