Separating Config Directory from Application?

[eluser]pickupman[/eluser]
config folder is set in /system/libraries/Common.php (1.7.2) or /system/core/Common.php(2.0dev). You can extended this class to point to another folder. Another option is use something like

config.php

Code:

require_once(__FILE__ .'../../config/config.php');

Let it read up the folder tree to use your system wide config file. Option 2 maybe better as you would be able to place application specific config files into each of their respective config folders, but have one master config.php file for setting system settings.
