Yes, it _might_ be useful, but it _is_ dangerous. I didn't
describe a theoretical problem here, but a problem which
occured to me while I was installing a new tracker instance.
The main cause for this is search rule 3, which is somehow
surprising. Imagine having "./*" in your shell search path,
which is even worse than having "." in the search path like
in DOS/Windows.

I see two solutions for this issue if TEMPLATE-INFO.txt
should be in the instance home:
1. remove search rule 3 or
2. automatically change TEMPLATE-INFO.txt when being
installed to append something to the "Name:" line. Maybe
"Name: classic-foobar" if the tracker home is
"/path/to/foobar". This way you can say: Hey, I want a
tracker configured like this installed one, which of course
changes TEMPLATE-INFO.txt:Name to "classic-foobar-baz".

Now that I've written it down, the second solution sounds
really good. Should I implement it?
