Summary	0000875: Allow Relocation of config.php
Description	For an extra layer of security, it needs to be possible to change the location of the config.php file without breaking everything.
Additional Information	Many search results on this topic recommend placing the config file outside of the web root, or placing the passwords in environment variables. I don't think these options are particularly simple or efficient on their own. I would like to take a direction in which the config.php file simply contains an extra variable $configPath which optionally points to a secondary file. This allows XMB to look for overrides in a customized location with little to no performance impact. This also preserves the ability to upgrade the configuration in future versions, because the values aren't getting locked away in some other system resource or auto included file.
