I agree with that, currently we can have LIBMAP env variable to append antoher
libmap.conf file to the /etc/libmap.conf,

So we have two option, convert the LIBMAP variable to a PATH-like variable,
(don't like this very much) or add an "includedir" keyword to libmap.conf then
the code will go thought the includedir and parse all the .conf files available
in that directory.

the second seems pretty easy, I'll write a PoC for it as soon as I can
