And what about these default locations?  Is everyone fine with the
following two path names?

- /usr/local/etc/monitoring-plugins.ini
- /etc/monitoring-plugins.ini

Or shall we also support subdirectories?  E.g.:

- /usr/local/etc/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins.ini
- /etc/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins.ini

Or would be prefer a different file extension (such as ".cfg" or
".conf")?
