AFAIK, it does require a specific directory structure,
but I'm sure Steven will correct me if I'm wrong. It
does look like the closest thing to what I'm
suggesting, but I still don't like being locked into a
particular structure.

Yes, that is a bit of the rub. I'm leaning towards a
central config file that can be alterred to point to
additional config files on a per user basis. Requires
the SysAdmin to edit that central file to add in a new
developer, but then the developer can twiddle their
own config file after that. Ideally, I'd like to get
that other person out of the loop.

I'm considering having a default config file just be
"~/libfinder.cfg" or the like, but that brings back in
the home directory to the mix, and I'm not sure I like
that. Just one of my quirks - I like config file paths
to be absolute.
