#1) Could you please wrap your patch headers at about coulmn 72 or so,
please? Thanks!!
#2) Changing when the config file is parsed doesn't change whether the
command line or the config file has precendence. Parsing the config
file merely sets up an in-memory parse tree so that C code can query
the contents of the config file, e.g.:
profile_get_boolean(ctx->profile, "options",
"defer_check_on_battery", 0, 1,
&defer_check_on_battery);
Simply moving the profile_init() makes no difference. Also, none of
the parameters in /etc/e2fsck.conf overlap with what you can specify
on the command-line, so I'm not even sure what the original author
(Jim Garlick) was even trying to get at.

Yep, this is reasonable.
