Sorry for not replying to that. I read the message and then took a
mental note to reply and forgot.

I've pushed this. At some point I think it would make sense to switch
to a systemd style conf_files_list/ config_parse api where higher
precedence dirs override lower precedence files on a per-key basis,
but that's really neither here nor there.
thanks for the patch
Ray
