I don't see a reason -not- to have this option (besides the pain staking
parsing of each --config option that has to be made), except, how many people would
actually benefit from this? I can see it coming in handy yes, but at the same
time, what's wrong with having one generic config file, and reference that file
each time (instead of having a different config file for each archive - unless each
archive is so different from the other?)
