I'm just starting to hack around with Axis-C and simple_axis_server.  How difficult do you think it would be to try and eliminate the runtime dependency on a externally defined AXISCPP_DEPLOY environment variable and the contents of axiscpp.conf?

Ideally, I would like to have the ability to specify all of what is contained in axiscpp.conf in the command line arguments passed to simple_axis_server, so that an on-disk file is not needed in order to quickly fire the server and run a few tests. 

The dependency on $AXISCPP_DEPLOY can be faked by passing it's value on the command line and setting it as an environment variable inside main() using putenv().  

I'm happy to write this patch and submit it for review, but I just wanted to put the idea out there for criticism, in case it has already been thought of and shot down for reasons of impracticality.
