[Catalyst] How does config work?

As I understand from Catalyst::Base, the model class has it's own config,
independent from the App's config.

The context object returns the applications config. I'm not a TT crack,
but I'd say there should be a possibility to access the template object.

Yep, but more for plugin modules. There you can store your information
under the applications config by using $c->config. You could use the
config of your application by using "MyApp->config", but that would bind
your models to Catalyst, as I understand it.
