Ditto. I only use the local config, so you can keep a config file for
the current tree which has matching filenames etc. I control what I am
uploading by setting the current dir to a set of files. This works
very well as it allows a conistent set of released files and bbl
config to match ('make dist' should give you this). I have never used
the user config at all, and don't really use the system config except
to provide a sensible default for the serial port.

Yes. I'd have system (with only a few important settings in) and then
local (by CWD) configs. Not sure there is much point keeping per-user
configs, but maybe someone has a use for them (I'd scrap them). It
would be nice if bbl was smart enoguh to look up the tree for the
'nearest' bblrc (e.g if in 'kernel' and no bblrc it would look in dir
above), but this might cause more problems than it solves. Not sure. 

In general I don't find it broken as-is, so maybe just leave it alone?
