And it seems I need to speak up, too, as the first author of the whole
"config stuff"...  :-D

This was the idea behind my patches: prepare ucw as a global server
service, à la Apache, still letting a "normal" user to start it.

FWIW, I think that configuration stuff belongs to /etc (or, obviously,
~/.ucw in case of non-wide ones).  And that was the plan behind
ucwctl...

I think that in case of deletion of the config stuff, I'll probably
re-add it with a Debian-specific patch, as soon as I'll finish the
package.  This because not the local admin neither a normal user are
allowed to modify files in /usr (except /usr/local), as ucw will be
probably installed in /usr/share/common-lisp/source/ucw/ (or something
similar).

Obviously, I'm for sure for a upstream (and general) solution :-)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
