I agree with all of this. We should switch to complete Config.lbs for v2.
Also, the reason why I haven't submitted my patch is that buildtarget is still broken for -fno-stack-protector (as per a previous email), and I figured that as long as I was moving all the revisions up, I would wait for that to work, but I can't wait much longer, and I really don't grok how the config system works enough to hack on it without getting lost.
buildtarget uses a thirdparty config parsing thingy in python to first load the set of available options (from Options.lb) and then read their values. (Config.lb)
We were discussing an overlay config - that is applied after the current Config.lb if specified in an environment variable. Is that still interesting? Would it solve the problem? I think that's a quick hack, I could take a look.
