Configuration/Suppressions from an file

[ctimothy]

We have 8 different multi-module projects, each with 5 or more projects in each. We would like to be able to have a Configuration/Suppressions file that can be used instead of having to modify each project. This way we can enforce the same rules and reduce the chance of mistakes. A good example of this would be scalaStyle and the scalastyle-config.xml file. Each multi-module projects uses its own scalastyle-config.xml which is copied from the master version under source control.

If we can get a scapegoat-config.xml file that would be very helpful for us that have complex build environments.
