Just to know, and mainly because I can't manage to find it out by myself,
which are the advantages about having all Higgins HSS configuration files
placed under userhome folder? I can't see why is useful to have it into
/home/user instead of having it placed inside /usr/local or /etc/higgins...

As disadvantage I see that those folders could have the read restriction
against other users (except superusers) and could have problems with
tomcat... What am I missing?
