Yes, but how should I read this? Should I just re-read the config file
inside both files?

Yes.

I agree. The command line options here should override settings from the
config file. I think we can make that work actually. (Even allowing both
at once).

But how does one handle the project and such? And also should we really
have to read all the options all the time, or only the ones each file
needs? Certainly easier to do it that way...

It *is* a bit further out though.
