The parser chokes on .ini files that are not in the current directory, 
but are in the library path.

I wish I could say in what manner it choked, but the message was that 
infuriatingly unspecific:

   Problem with option setting
   [Command line is echoed here.]
   Failed to parse command-line option

Once again, if the parser had given a more helpful message, I could have 
saved nearly an hour and a half figuring out what went wrong.  I've been 
complaining about this for five or six years now.  PLEASE FIX THIS!
