configuration file to go along with a virtual machine program [message #74623]

I'm going to be distributing a virtual machine program and would like
to let the user set up his own configuration file with paths to the
data the program needs just once, so when on later executions of the
program it will see the config file is present and get what it needs
from it.

Does anyone have suggestions on how the program can discover where it
ought to look for the file? The program is going to be distributed to
Windows, Solaris, and Linux so I need a solution for each o/s.
