You can set several options using settings, including
http:worker_options, What are you missing? run.pl also merges
commandline arguments. Alternatively, load cliopatria, but do not call
cp_server and just do the steps you need yourself.

I think that is a left over from refactoring ClioPatria.  This should
have been a configuration option, so you can easily drop it.

You can easily have your own /, because ClioPatria merely installs
a default one at low priority.  Rebasing using prefix is handled
outside ClioPatria and intended first of all to put servers behind
proxies at a different location.  ClioPatria's paths all (hopefully)
use the path alias cliopatria, so you can change that to move all
cliopatria paths.  But, typically rebinding / should be enouh.

That is a fair choice if you just want RDF.
