-------------------------------+---------------------------------
 It's common that programs run with a default configuration and allow a to
 be launched with a custom configuration file.
 sbws has an argument to specify an alternative directory but not an
 alternative config file.
 It's also common that programs initialize required directories or user
 configuration files when they are first run without requiring the user to
 run an extra command.
 The user configuration file should also not be inside the data directory,
 otherwise it is an egg-chicken problem
 This also makes easier to have a program that can be run as a user with
 user configuration file (ie `.sbws.ini`) and as a system service with
 system configuration file (ie `/etc/sbws/config.ini`).
 And makes the software simpler and easier to maintain.
