Which raises the question, why is it even *possible* to have so many
config files?  I've got settings spread amongst:

	/usr/local/spool/hylafax/etc/config
	/usr/local/lib/hylafax/hfaxd.conf
	/usr/local/lib/hylafax/hyla.conf
	/usr/local/lib/hylafax/sendfax.conf

I have to continually dig into man pages to find out their preference
order.  The last three are mentioned in the sendfax man page, along with
~/.hylarc, but the first one is not.

I think hylafax binaries should be allowed to consult just one,
either in .../lib/hylafax, or in .../spool/hylafax/etc, along with a
superseding ~/.hylarc.
