Details:

For creating and testing new config entries it is useful to be able to read
additional config files.

The normal -C option always requires a complete (patched) copy of the original
config file.

This patch allows to specify additional config files to be read after the
system wide file, by writing -C +filename at the command line. (Is this change
acceptable for this option?)

For example I use this as follows:

./avrdude -C avrdude.conf -C +../conf/o-link.conf -C +../conf/pwm316.conf
....

This change implies that you cannot simply specify any filename starting with
'+' as replacement for the system configuration file. The workaround would be
to use a path as -C ./+abc (in case anyone uses such filenames).

As this patch allows to  load single config entries, new patches for new parts
and programmers might provide the changes also as single files in config
format. This can be added at svn integration somewhere in the system wide file
or be used directly from the patch tracker by any user who wants to test/use
this new entry (without to patch its config file)

May be we get so more patches for new parts as people do not need to use diff
tools for creating patch files.
