I'm not very sanguine about the notion of another configuration file. One
reason is that everyone's resolver would now do an addition open for a file
that won't be there, adding to overhead. Complexity and unexpected new
magic are other reasons. It needs more thought and more opinions from
people who know the resolver code.
