We should be looking for configuration in several locations, and assign a class (in a dictionary sense) depending on which we find:

The value of $_SERVER['ARSSE_CONFIG'] (or possibly a registry key, on Windows) or command line option (custom)
A file named config.php in dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) (local)
/etc/arsse/config.php or on Windows %programdata%\MensBeam\arsse\config.php (global)

The class would affect some configuration defaults, such as the location of the SQLite database (/var/lib/arsse/arsse.db for global), logging settings, and perhaps other things.

Eventually this may perhaps be extended to accommodate user-global configurations.
