Description

In many apache big data projects (Hadoop, Hbase, to name a few), the user can specify an alternate config file directory with PROJECT_CONF_DIR, such as HADOOP_CONF_DIR or HBASE_CONF_DIR.

It'd be useful to have this feature in Storm instead of hard coding a different location into bin/storm.

I've written a simple patch, which I will attach and also send a pull request on github.
