What bothers me here is that reference to the external entity (config file in this case) which
may or may not exist. This makes wic more fragile than it is now.

Can we put bootloader configs to some predefined place, e.g. to the same
directory where .wks is?

I'd prefer to have tests in the same patchset with the code. It would
help to understand better how to handle external configs. Can you do
that?
