[erlang-questions] minimal failure case for specifying mnesia directory

[Loïc Hoguin]

You have to tell relx about your sys.config file, it doesn't magically 
find it. From the relx wiki page:

%% If you have a sys.config file you need to tell relx where it is. If 
you do
%% that relx will include the sys.config in the appropriate place
%% automatically.
{sys_config, "./config/sys.config"}.
