Sure, the NUnit settings file is available. However, a central 
location is only useful for things that have a single value
all the time. Since you can have multiple file systems on a
machine, there's no way to specify as a setting which one you
are talking about.

For files that actually exist on the system in question, the
path tells you what system it is part of. So this problem
is fairly restricted: it only comes up if you need to test
the content of paths for other systems than the one you are
running on.
