I rechecked, my bad, I made some (not yet submitted) changes which affect this 
behaviour and looked at my copy instead of the one in trunk. Sorry. So, if 
you have trunk, you will only load them on server startup (with the exception 
of the CGI handler which has to load configs on each call anyway).
