Why would it need a conf file of its own? I see it just as a 
(potentially quite long) list of rulenames and actions to take.
Or are you thinking of a conf file that looks like
rulename   list-of-actions
rulename   list-of-actions
....
I'm not in favour of a separate conf file, it looks a bit over the top.
