Currently ctl.conf is required to be a single monolithic file.  It would be better if the file format supported an "include" directive, which would include the contents of another file at the current location.  Alternatively, it could include the contents of all files in a certain directory (just like syslog.conf's include directive).  That would be useful for servers that use iSCSI for multiple applications.

As discussed in the review, we decided that it's sufficient that the UCL config format has a .include directive.  So we won't add one to the traditional format.
