Hi websec maintainers,
When I start websec as
  websec --urllist $HOME/.websec/url.list
thus giving it a full absolute path for a configuration file
to avoid any ambiguity - I get the following answer:

| Web Secretary Ver 1.9.0
| By Chew Wei Yih Copyleft (c) 1998
| 
| Missing config file .//home/olaf/.websec/url.list, Exiting.

Yes, the man page says,
"  --base  Base directory for configuration (~/.websec by default)"

I think this is very good for relative paths but rather confusing when
simly using a fully qualified path starting with a "/".

Many people who want to stress that they mean: "yes, do use exactly this
file and no other" use this notation. You already made a nice step
towards that direction honouring an urllist file in the current
directory disregarding the default --base setting.

If you don't mind to include the little 3-liner I attached it would be
great.

Regards,
Olaf
