Yep, I didn't explain it very well. Here's a list of things of things needed to impliment config. 1) A place to store config 2) Using the values from 1) to actaully alter the behaviour of the emulator. One or more of the following 3a) A config file parser. 3b) A Mac OS X GUI config tool 3c) A commandline parser 3d) A method of setting config that we haven't thought of yet. I worked on 1) and 2) as they would be needed regardless of which method 3) is used, and a commandline parser so I can test the code for 1) and 2). My intention is to place all runtime values into 1) for the simplicity of having one place to initialise them to defaults etc. We don't need to extend the amount of config to store at runtime as we don't extend the capabilities of the binary at runtime (all its extensions are currently #define controlled). Should we ever impliment a runtime dynamic linking system or similar for additional code then we would need something more dynamic. But until that happens we're overspeccing a very simple problem.
