cscope.dflt,  cscope.rc, .cscoperc.

Think its probably preferable to have this in a separate file 
(for base default values) looked for in home dir then cwd.
(traditional rc file handling)

Per project settings ( files and override switches) from cscope.files
in cwd.

The contents and parsing common to both.
