region storage is configured in the [startup] section in the example
ini file. what's configured in the [standalone] section?

Hmm... if that's the case, then the Libraries configuration should
probably be co-located with the AssetSets configuration.

Although, at one point (last time i checked was a couple months ago)
each region loaded the library file separately & that caused some bad
breaks in the viewer (assets referenced in the library not actually
stored in the asset server). I'll check on the current status on
Monday.
