There's something of a security risk here.  If some miscreant manages to
put the file "evilplot.cf" into the methods directory, this could be
used to compromise the remote systems.  I'd rather list the
files explicitly.  In practice, I've found this doesn't change
frequently anyway, so it isn't a big deal to add/remove entries.
