Aaaah.  There are two things that are being mixed up here (by all of
us, it looks like):

 - Compiling DGD itself.
 - Using DGD to run a mud.

What I'm talking about is only relevant to compiling DGD.

What you're talking about is a file like you can find in dgd/mud.dgd,
which contains the runtime location of the relevant files/directories
that DGD uses, including the 'lib' directory, the relative location of
the driver.c and auto.c file, etc.

You can't specify an ipaddress by the way, but you're right about the
port number and maximum connections.

Hope that clears up some of the confusion. :)

Erwin.
