We're in agreement over the shared configuration idea being a bad one.
We're also in agreement that the hash should be on the canonicalized
configuration directory path. I would much prefer one of the core
developers implement the realpath(3) function or whatever function you
prefer. I'm not comfortable inserting realpath(3) into your code when
the documentation for it describes it as "broken by design".
