If no config_file is specified on the command line, Privoxy will look for a
file named 'config' in the current directory (except Win32 which will look
for 'config.txt'). If no config_file is found, Privoxy will fail to start.

CONFIGURATION
- See: 'config', 'default.action', 'user.action', and 'default.filter'.
- 'user.action' is for personal configuration. These are all well commented.
- Most of the magic is in '*.action' files. 'user.action' should be
- used for any actions customizations. On Unix-like systems, these files
- are installed in /etc/privoxy. On Windows, then wherever the executable
- itself is installed. There are many significant changes and advances since
- Junkbuster v2.0.x. The user-manual has a run down of configuration options,
- and examples: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/.
