The +after_fork+ doc mentions "generally there's no reason to start
Unicorn as a priviledged user".
"generally" that may be true, I'd still recommend to run each app as a
dedicated user.
The added bonus is that it makes it most obvious in ps(1) listings which
app a unicorn process belongs to as 'user' is usually mentioned first.
On small terminals the value of --config-file could easily be cut off at
the right, still leaving you in the dark.

I see in the NEWS entry for 0.95.1 that you do recommend an absolute
path for the -c/--config-file option, but it may be beneficial to
mention this in the man page or other parts of the documentation.
Agreed, thanks Jeremy!
