Ah, I just saw that you've already sent the patch, and it *wasn't* on
top of the patch that adds --interface. An alternate path would be to
have the "switch to conf file" patch first (but *not* adding the
--interface option), then remaking that patch to only add to the conf
file (ie to be applied *after* this patch). Either way, we need to have
them in two separate patches.
