Its better if there is just one clearly defined mechanism. Having
equivalent alternatives is usually a bad thing in an API.

My suggestion would be to pass just a generic configuration "name" as
an argument and let the implementation decide the location and name of
the corresponding configuration file. A possible Windows port might
well want to use a different directory layout and naming convention.

I'm fine as long as the config file syntax follows a well specified
standard already in 1.8.

In fact the situation at the moment is that you have three different
log files: the Apache error log, the Midgard log, and the MidCOM log.
It's possible to have them all pointing to the same place but
currently that needs special attention. It would be better if all the
logs would go to the Apache log and follow the Apache LogLevel by
default, but you could still point the logs elsewhere if you really
wanted to.

To illustrate my point I found your own comment (carelessly taken out
of context :-) from December: "Typical midcom log file is empty and I
have no idea how to define new log file or even log level." (See
