I understood it.
The important thing is when it is instantiated or isn't needed,
not where it is handled (i.e. at util/config.c). right ?

So we need to use the config set as extern variable
and it would be better to keep the existing code at cmd_config() as you 
said.

I'll send v4 with modified code soon ! :-)

Thanks,
