Log Message:
-----------
A web server should absolutely run chrooted, so storing a configuration
file below /usr/local/etc/ makes no sense whatsoever. Also, the
configuration file should certainly not be in a directory where
files can get executed as CGI scripts, so looking in the same
directory as cvsweb.cgi is a bad idea, too.
Considerably simplify things by hardcoding a reasonable location.
The INSTALL file already instructs the user to check this.
