 The config.c module and the or_options_t type are a layering problem: They
 initialize many other modules, and provide what amounts to a set of global
 variables for the configuration settings.

 Instead, we could use the subsystems design to give modules the ability to
 declare and listen to various configuration options of their own, without
 requiring all the option handling to be in a single place.
