The patch looked fine to me, so I applied it in 1.7.6-jumbo-7.
Arguably, it should use the numeric 0 in place of FLG_NONE, but this
doesn't make a difference and you were not the first to start using
FLG_NONE like that. Also, "--test" has an explicit list of options it
is compatible with, which obviously does not include your new option.
This makes "--test" and "--config" incompatible, which was probably not
considered, but this may actually be fine.
Thanks,
