Ability to change command line parameters via the input stream #107

I think the ability to change command line parameter values (i.e. bloom-*, 
title, seconds-per-day, background-*, highlight-*, user-image-dir, -hide etc.) 
from the input stream would take this cool app to another level!  I can imagine 
using gource to help communicate a development story by being able to 
dynamically manipulate the visual features already supported.  For example, it 
could slow down the animation during critical sections of development, 
highlight different developers during different phases, change the title to 
document the key points etc.

To facilitate using gource to tell a story, it would be nice to be able to 
freeze the input processing so a discussion or analysis can be done on a 
"static" image.  Of course, this could be done by the app/script feeding 
gource, but I think "freezing" the image may be of interest to lots of users.

I understand it may not be possible to allow every parameter to be dynamically 
modified, but those that can, should be supported.
