will you be able to disable the stdout? right now mikes patch prints
out a lot of stuff as it loads all the things in .caprc, which is kind
of annoying.

Mike,
Alright, this finally made it in (as of revision 5774). I didn't use
your implementation directly, though, as there were a few issues I
had to think about.
Here's how dotfiles work in edge capistrano:
* The dotfile, by default, is called ".caprc" and will be searched
for in your home directory. On Unices, this is the ENV["HOME"]
variable. On windows, it is "#{ENV["HOMEDRIVE"]}#{ENV["HOMEPATH"]}".
The environment is searched in that order (so if you have HOME set on
Windows, it will be used), and if none is found the root directory is
used.
* You can override the path to the config file via the -c switch:
"cap -c /path/to/.customrc ..."
* You can specify that you don't want to use the config file at all
via the -x switch: "cap -x ..."
* The file will be loaded immediately after the "-S" options are
processed. Thus, variables you set via -S will be available to
the .caprc stuff.
The major difference between the patch you submitted and the way I
implemented it is that the .caprc will always be loaded, whether or
not other recipe files are specified. (As I mentioned above, you can
skip the config loading with -x.)
Thanks for the idea, Mike, and sorry that took so long to get into
trunk!
