If it was this simple I would go for it... 
but it just not work... as expected. Here is why.

In relative_path() looks at the new file 
(/etc/nfsmount.conf.d/*.conf). If the path starts
with '/',  the path is strdup-ed and returned.

The '*' is never expanded. Even if it was... there
no code (that I see) that will process multiple
files.   TBL... This works 
include=-/etc/nfsmount.conf.d/nfsmount.conf

This doesn't 
include=-/etc/nfsmount.conf.d/*.conf

Also I don't know if it is a good idea to have the sub configs
dependent on the main config file. If the main config is remove
the sub config will never be seen. Is that a good thing?

I'm thinking we go with processing the sub configs separate 
from the main config and allow multiple sub configs be processed 
if they end with ".config" (mrchuck's suggestion).

Then document all this in the man pages.  

The last question should the main config be process,
not at all or after or before the sub configs?

steved.
