I'll look at plugging the path in, but that's not what the path is. It's not
for the ini file, it's just for the schema folder, and it's already a
command line option to set this. I just wanted to insure there was a
default.

Under what conditions? I've tested with other ports and it's worked. It may
remove a default port, but that would be it.

Start it with -f (believe this is documented).

Or a book? I would definitely not want our docs to include this, which
doesn't mean we won't have some other supporting material.

Is the wayconfig XML encoding set to UTF-8 or something else?

Please file a bug in bugzilla along with some supporting example
configuration.
