At this point, I'm thinking save it for post-1.18 (we've already got
enough churn on VDDK with LD_LIBRARY_PATH changes).
Another thing I've been thinking about for some time is splitting
.config_complete into .config_complete + .get_ready (new name TBD).
At the moment .config_complete is both the place where we finish
processing config, and also the last chance we get to set things up
before the server forks. Of course such a change would not be
material — .get_ready would always be run immediately after
.config_complete — but it cleans up the API a little.
How would it play with --dump-config? Right now, we allow that to run
after .config but before .config_complete, precisely so that language
bindings can accept the first .config to determine their script name,
and then consult the script for any further config help.
