Totally.  I've actually got a patch which looks in $sysconfdir and
$datadir as well, enabling global fallback config files to be shipped,
which I guess should be combined with this.  When I looked at that, my
next step was going to be returning an fd, but then I remembered that
fds have no fgets() equivalent and totally lost interest in
open-coding that.

But it would be a much better result, particularly as mine open()s the
files to verify they're accessible anyway ...

Cheers,
Daniel
