 Replying to [comment:34 nickm]:
 > Maybe have CONFDIR be an argument to the functions that use it, and
 write a unit test (a la the stuff in test_config.c) that tries it with a
 cooked value to replace CONFDIR when testing those functions?

 OK, just added a new patch that has full branch coverage of the changed
 code.

 And makes this happy, too.

 Is there a compelling reason to have this?  I was thinking:
 - A local install will change CONFDIR,
 - if a user knows to make a ~/.tor.d/ s/he could also just pass -d
 ~/.tor.d
 But if there's a good reason, it's not hard to add.
