I don't like traversing the same list of configuration variables / files 
twice, each time looking for a different variable just so that one of 
those traversals can use a standard function, rather than just 
traversing once and getting exactly what this routine needs; this seems 
wasteful to me. However, I am (obviously) not the maintainer of this 
code so I will do this however it is desired.
