Why? The point is to eliminate the need to parse the config file to get
the description. I don't see how the location of config files has
anything to do with that.

The config file is called listname.config in $listdir (as now, for
backwards compatibility) or _config (and _oldconfig) in the list
subdirectory for the separate_list_dirs structure. This is a black box;
you should not plan on being able to do anything with it (even edit it by
hand) except by calling core functions. It may all be fields in a database
somewhere. However, given core function calls it should be easy to write
tools to do whatever you want to the files, like spit them out in
human-editable form. (Actually they're still quite easy to edit, but it's
not something I'd recommend doing.)
