but, that's the way it's written now... we'd have to refactor the way the
config files are read, and then the patch would be quite invasive,
wouldn't it?

did you see the 2nd patch? where i added multi-config support for
read_object_config_files? (or at least very basic, i didn't check if these
functions reset some internal variables at the start of their call)


what exactly are you thinking of doing?
