That's a really interesting point, between weewx as a system daemon with
config in the standard place, and alternate config.

I would suggest that by default the standard config is read and there is
a "-C /path/to/the/weewx.conf/I/want/to/use" and also have that file be
able to set paths to database, etc.

Also for development one could just do the normal install with
--prefix=$HOME/weewx-devel or whatever, I think.
