Right, that's what I have to do now, but it's what I'm trying to avoid.
Doing that means duplicating some of my cluster config in the command
line, which means I have to take care to keep cluster.conf changes in
sync with all such command lines.  I'd like to keep maintaining that
configuration information on one central place: the cluster.conf files.

That could be useful.
Do you have any plans to distribute this tool with cluster suite?
