For portability I am inclined to look for the configuration file in the model's
folder (or the current directory if using stdin). Otherwise I realize I'd have
to start coding special cases for Windows, Linux, and the Mac.

It is a good idea. It would actually take more work, though, because currently
prel3p expects to be fully configured before it starts processing the model. It
might be a little simpler at the ldconfig parsing stage (you could even pass the
model as a second -ldconfig option), but that would probably be less convenient
to use.
I'll add support for a plain configuration file, and make a note of the meta
command idea.
