-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Currently the default output directory for Cactus output is ".", something
 that is hardly every used by anybody. We should strive to have parameter
 defaults that work in most circumstances and that are used by most people.
 "." is save, but not at all the most wanted choice. "$parfile" is another
 sensible choice, should be as save as "." and is used by more (>0) users
 than their default. Thus, I propose to test to change the default. Before
 getting into this (unknown) amount of work, let me use this ticket to ask
 for objections first.
