and you should pass this file to Tlf through parse_logcfg.c?

brrr....

I think the codebase of Tlf is already very complex.

How many contest could we use this feature?

Once upon I proposed that we sould start to a new direction in
config file/rules parsing. I'm still thinking that the best way
would be implement some external scripting language, as module,
eg. Python and/or Lua. With one of those, everyone can make a
more sophisticate rule for every contests.

Here is my original opinion:
