Is that "customized configuration" limited to domain configuration? If
so, you should be able to install v3 FCS version and reference your
existing domain configurations using --domaindir parameter to specify
the location. Note that you may also need to delete osgi-cache directory
content in existing domain configuration directories in order to
accommodate changes to OSGi bundle list.
