How to declare the Unity InjectionFactory in XML configuration

Question

I'm in the process of moving our Unity configuration to the web.config file. I'm stuck on how to migrate the following code config to the xml format:

var container = new UnityContainer();
container.RegisterType<IPrincipal>(new InjectionFactory(x=> HttpContext.Current.User));
return container;

Here are the XML declartion:

<unity xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/practices/2010/unity">
    <alias alias="IRepository" type="Model.IRepository, Model" />        
    <alias alias="Repository" type="Data.Repository, Data" />
    <container>
      <register type="IRepository" mapTo="Repository" />      
    </container>    
</unity>

InjectionFactory is the one thing that can't be represented in XML out of the box. In order for it to completely work, you'd have to write a C# parser that could work on the XML file, which was way more than I wanted to bite off at the time.

However, I do have a sample on bitbucket which shows a way to get a limited version of factory creation working via XML. Might give you some ideas.
