Centralized pyblosxom install. Ideas?

Hello all; I'm packaging up pyblosxom for Fedora (surprised it's not
already there) and am pondering how best to set up the "default"
configuration.

I'd like to avoid having to make users copy the pyblosxom.cgi file to
their home directories, but instead just be able to create a local
config.py and have pyblosxom.cgi read that in directly in a "smart"
way.

I was thinking this might involve calling SetEnv from my pyblosxom
Apache config file and setting an enviornment variable CUSTOM_PATH or
something with the path to the user's config file in it (determined via
some process).  I'd only need a simple modification to pyblosxom.cgi to
check for this environment variable...

Any suggestions in this area?  Any work being done to make pyblosxom a
bit more "centralized" in this way?  I have run across other[1]
solutions as well but I'm not sure if they're any less "hacky" than the
one I'm proposing.

Thanks in advance.

Ray
