You are right. Although that could be pretty stable as you're not likely to 
change configuration-names often.

Ah, the smokeguards (nice name btw)... They need work. Currently the timeout 
is only active during run_smoke().
We could add some sort of batch-mode to F<smokeperl.pl> and allow multiple 
--config switches. OTOH that will interfere with "--continue", so it needs 
more thought.

For the moment you'll have to use a tiny shell wrapper script that calls the 
wrappers created by F<configsmoke.pl> (or merge them somehow).

Good luck,

Abe

Pretty silent around here, I'm afraid.
