This is a good idea for frameworks like Meteor

Requested here: meteor/todos#15

Another option to use a config file with Meteor is to put the config file under .config/chimp.js so that Meteor ignores the dot directory, then pass the file to Chimp as the first param, like this:

chimp .config/chimp.json <other options>

There are a lot other ways to prevent Meteor from loading the config file as app file:

• Put the config file in the imports/ folder (Meteor 1.3)
• Name the config file, so it starts with a dot (also works with a parent folder with dot)
• Put the Meteor app in a subdirectory of the repository. E.g. src/.
