How about adding

my $systconfig =3D /etc/cabot/rc';
if (-f $systconfig) {
    unless (scalar eval `cat $systconfig`) {
        die "Couldn't parse $systconfig: $EVAL_ERROR\n" if $EVAL_ERROR
    };
};

to the top of our example cabotrc?  This would enable splitting off
systemwide config from the per-user configuration.

Furthermore, the system-wide /etc/cabot/rc could have the tarball's
version number in it.  I could create a file rc in our repository, which
gets installed as /usr/local/etc/cabot/rc per default.  ( /etc/cabotrc
in the Debian package, off course, using ./configure's --systconfdir .)

Bye,

Joost
