* Improve the -K config file parser (the parameter following the flag should
be possible to get specified *exactly* as it is done on a shell command
line).
Alternatively, and preferably, we rewrite the entire config file to become
a true config file that uses its own format instead of the currently
crippled and stupid format:
[option] = [value]
Where [option] would be the same as the --long-option and [value] would
either be 'on/off/true/false' for booleans or a plain value for [option]s
that accept variable input (such as -d, -o, -H, -d, -F etc).
[value] could be written as plain text, and then the initial and trailing
white spaces would be stripped off, or it can be specified within quotes
and then all white spaces within the quotes will count.
[value] could then be made to accept some format to specify an environment
variable. I could even think of supporting
[option] += [value]
for appending stuff to an option.
As has been suggested, ${name} could be used to read environment variables
and possibly other options. That could then be used instead of += operators
like:
bar = "foo ${bar}"
