Seems like it would be useful for the "no jackd" case, though. (Or 
you'd have to force code changes upon applications anyway.)

For Kobo Deluxe, I just hacked a simple integrated command line and 
config file parser. Inherit the parser class, add your argument 
variables and implement a function that registers the variables. Then 
tell it to read your config file and/or hand it argc + argv. You can 
have default values and check whether default values were overidden, 
and there's support for integers, floats, switches and strings.

Unfortunately, it's in C++, though the actual code is mostly C style, 
and shouldn't be too hard to port. (The key registering won't look as 
sexy, but that's no major issue.)

Licence is LGPL, like most of my engine/lib sort of stuff. I don't 
have it as a separate package, but that can be arranged if there's 
interest.
