Yes, for the time being. (Later on we should think about how to cram
multiple devices into a single thread.)

Yes, it would be pretty difficult to come with a sensible command line
format. The content of the config file is structured in three levels
device/in-out/connect-bind and I would like to add socket options later on:
...
<in>
<sockopt name = "IDENTITY" value = "mydevice" />
<sockopt name = "HWM" value = "1000" />
<connect address = "tcp://192.168.0.111:5555" />
</in>
...
It would be quite difficult to convey all that on a command line IMO.
