Yes, that would work just as well as the paramter of course.

I guess, we agree then that it would be the proper way to deal with
this. Now we just need to:
- Decide if this isn't a bit late to go into 4.2.0
- If yes, find a way what to do for 4.2.0 (some platform specific
  set_config_file/override_config_file magic)
- If it can be done still.. implement it as fast as possible.
