How will the name of the configuration file be specified? There's currently no mechanism to provide configuration information to Wiretap; such a mechanism would be needed to allow the user to specify different configuration files (rather than wiring the pathname of the configuration file into Wiretap). Such a mechanism might be useful for other options.
