Using the -c option to htsearch is not the preferred approach to specifying
the configuration file. That option is mainly for testing and debugging
purposes. Usually, you specify the configuration file using the "config"
input parameter to htsearch. It's defined as a hidden input parameter
in the sample search.html form that comes with the package. The limitation
with this is the file you specify must be under the CONFIG_DIR directory
defined at compile time. The default value for "config" is "htdig", which
expands to "$CONFIG_DIR/htdig.conf". As long as $SCONF is subordinate to
the compiled-in CONFIG_DIR value, this shouldn't be a problem.
