Storing program-specific configuration data for many diverse applications
in a single file is (A) a stupid idea, (B) a stupid idea, and most
importantly (C) ... a stupid idea. Having config parameters all
in one place does not magically make the idiot tring to manipulate
them any better at his job, but it sure makes it more likely that he
will take the whole system down with him when he does make a mistake!
