Hi Geoffrey,

I'm not sure why, but I couldn't get the patches to apply cleanly.
I've done it now, although it needed a couple more fixes to work properly.

There's formfu tests - though there's no cat-controller tests for
this, and I don't think I've got any applications that set this value
themselves, so I've really only tested an app that uses the default
cat-controller path.

The cat-controller config option {config_file_path} is now deprecated,
and issues a warning - you should set
{constructor}{config_file_path} instead.

This is available in svn - I'm not going to try and push out a cpan
release this week, as I'm on holiday next week, and I don't want to
break anything and get stressed trying to fix it in a rush!

Thanks,
Carl
