Well, we could have an opts-xxx.c which has a opts_init(argc, argv),
an opts_save() and an opts_get(char *), and I can then change all the
xx_init functions in all the files to initialise themselves based on
a call to opts_get()?  The opts-xxx.c would then be written to store
arbitrary strings.

I'm thinking that my new X version that I'm writing could do with a
unix .rc file for storing the configuration and in that situation I
would only use argc/argv to point to a config file.

Thoughts?


Best wishes, James
