And if a file called configuration.t2t exists on the current folder? I
don't like these smart assumptions, I do prefer explicit paths.

One possible solution is to support an optional global configuration
file, for all users. The default name/location could be txt2tags.conf
at the same folder as the txt2tags program, or the user can specify
another path on the environment variable TXT2TAGS_CONFIG or something.

Do you think it would solve your problem?
