 Should be better now.

 Well, I guess the original intention with data path would be that there
 would be all kinds of data ‒ the configuration file, the sqlite database
 file, some sockets, etc. And then, we could just have several directories
 for several instances of bind10, so the user doesn't have to specify
 --config-file, --socket-file, etc, etc…

 But it is true that it's used for the configuration file only now. So, I'm
 open to discussion here.


 The relevant changes can be showed by git diff dcaab4f4..4fd1b4c0.

 Then I did a sync with master and added the unification of test option
 parser class we talked about on jabber. The merge did have some trivial
 collisions, but is uninteresting (5874ea28a). The unification is at
 170485ef.

 If you'd like to see the diff of whole branch, "git diff master..." (yes,
 3 dots) should do it. Also, I discovered git log -p recently and find it
 handy for reviews sometime.

 Thanks
