Place config in a separate file from code #33

... and don't include the config file itself in the repo, but include an example instead.

Makes merging much less annoying.

Or keep the existing config where it is, but look for an optional file that can executed to "overwrite" those values. I think it could be as easy as something like this:

[ -f config.sh ] && source config.sh

That works, if a config.sh file is located, that is honored above the default configs, otherwise it will just use the configuration at the top of the file. I also added an echo denoting that an alt config is in use for clarity. Let me know if you feel this should be removed.

Added an additional variable "CONFIG_PATH" before the configuration setting. This is to set the location of config.sh for inclusion. This was done to fix an issue I was experiencing that the script would look in the current directory for config.sh. Since I have the script set up as an alias, it would only read the config if it existed in the folder I was in.
