It does now, as of 0d5c3875. FWIW, I am not much a fan of the design
where we pass down a command line as an option value of a different
command line (more games with quoting comes into mind first), and
--config-file should give enough room for the case of this thread. I
have switched the status of the patch to reflect that.
