My opinion is that we should formalize the location of ldconfig.ldr in the LDraw root directory, since that's where it is in the parts library packages.
As for "search order", are you talking about the general search order for ldraw files? If so, I agree that something should be standardized. The standard locations are listed in the LDraw file spec, but no mention is made about what order they should be searched in.
