        Yes, but, as I pointed out, SWISH++ isn't a system-wide type of
        program like man is. There is only one set of manual pages per
        system; there can be many SWISH++ index files, each being an
        index of completely unrelated things.

        I think the manual page is quite clear (for the -c option).
        However, I could simply change the install procedure so that no
        configuration file is installed anywyere.
