	OK, I wrote this long reply but then I played around a bit with stuff 
I've read in later releases so I'll just tell you basically what I was 
getting at:

	According to the documentation and previous releases, all multi-tree 
configs had to be in a directory called configs.  This seemed a little 
silly to me.  It is no longer required.

	Absolutely, I don't want to make things impossible.  In the newer 
stuff, you can have as many configs as you want for your project, but I 
can just have the one that my project needs sitting in the top 
directory and all's well.
