Hi, Kristian

Would you like to look once again at the mtr patch ?

Sure!

I've removed auto-creation of my.cnf options by mere mentioning, as you found that confusing. Instead I added explicit group OPT, so now sphinx my.cnf would do

[searchd] port=@OPT.port

[ENV] SEARCHD_PORT=@searchd.port

Ah, that looks much better (and should be useful if one needs to assign a port to some option that is not named exactly "port").

Excellent! Will be very useful to future mtr hackers.

This will prevent an option to be set from an environment variable with the value "0". (Just a remark, I'm not sure if that is a problem or not though.) It's a nice cleanup of mtr, and I'm positively surprised how much cleanup you achieved with how little code changes, thanks! Ok to push. - Kristian.
