It *can* be done with the current system, although this is not obvious. Here's
how I did it in my dialog editor:

  /* set the config file to dlg.cfg, keeping allegro.cfg as an override */
  char allegro_cfg_path[1024], tmp[256];
  set_config_file("mygame.cfg");
  if (find_allegro_resource(allegro_cfg_path,
                            uconvert_ascii("allegro.cfg", tmp),
                            0, 0, 0, 0, 0, sizeof(allegro_cfg_path)) == 0)
      override_config_file(allegro_cfg_path);
