    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!
