conf-file isn't supported on windows #315

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

I don't think the  --conf-file option has ever been
supported on Windows, because there's no $HOME environment variable:

There shoudn't be any reason we can't support it in the future though.

Actually its a real pain to make this config file thing work - we severely 
hacked optparser to make it kind of work.

The new argparse has support for a config file
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html#fromfile-prefix-chars

But the file format is a little strange (its basically just a sequence of 
command line args one on each line). Maybe we should just use that though since 
its quite standard?
