Actually, now that I think about this, I think that it would be *EASY*
to support in make.

.include-up "conf/world.conf"

and make would look in ., .., ../.., etc until it finds
conf/world.conf.  It would then set some variable so conf/world.conf
would know where the top of the tree was (which would make things in
the tree a little easier).

Of course, this also requires changing all Makefiles in the tree, but
that's easy to do.
