Oops! Point taken, this *has* to go (I didn't realize that).

Fortunately, the trouble with STATEPATH requires rewriting the load_conf()
function anyway, so this takes no additional effort. People wanting to use
privileged ports (for whatever reason there may be) will have to run the
server as root then and accept the consequences.
