I mean we can have several driver-mode configs like `tool.cfg`, where some 
default settings are set (maybe by using @file constructs`) and several 
`target.cfg` which may override options defined in `tool.cfg`. Due to different 
target and driver configs loaded separately, we can avoid creating separate 
config for each target+driver combination. Not a killer feature, but it is 
convenient.

As I understand, it is enough to swap code that tries loading driver config 
below with this piece of code, no?

Our customers use this feature. Target prefix may designate, for example, debug 
build or build with specific framework.
