Just to build on that, you can use $q.all to wait for all requests to
finish.. like this:

"use strict";
var bootstrap = function( module, constant, urls ) {
    var injector = angular.injector(['ng']);
    var $q = injector.get('$q');
    var $http = injector.get('$http');

    var requests = [];

    angular.forEach(urls, function( url ) {
        requests.push($http.get(url));
    });

    $q.all(requests).then(function( arr ) {
        var config = {};

        angular.forEach(arr, function( item ) {
            angular.extend(config, item.data);
        });

        angular.module('config', []).constant(constant, config);
        angular.element(document.body).ready(function() {
            angular.bootstrap(document.body, [module]);
        });
    });
};

bootstrap('MyApp', 'CONFIG', ['system1.json', 'system2.json']);

​

This will of course extend it all to one object, which might not be what
you are looking for.. but it could be a good start.

How are people dealing with this in their apps? even the manifest file must
somehow be fetched and be globally available (how would you else configure
your storage providers etc?).
