Yeah, *if* we come up with a sort of "config-deploy" folder that is 
deployed after deployers but before deploy.  I think this will be a common 
problem as more and more things are POJO-ized.  Maybe we should have one 
"master" configuration file which covers everything, placed in this 
location.  Or maybe not. :-)

Another option would be to put the deployer *and* the config file into the 
bootstrap process, which I don't want to do (I'd rather have a more 
general-purpose solution).  Alternately, I could have left it in conf/ and 
added a bootstrap step to deploy it separately, but then it would be 
impossible to redeploy/reconfigure logging.

Yes, right here:
