// 	1) Start with a default config with sane settings
// 	2) Pre-parse the command line to check for an alternative config file
// 	3) Load configuration file overwriting defaults with any specified options
// 	4) Parse CLI options and overwrite/add any specified options
//
// The above results in functioning properly without any config settings
// while still allowing the user to override settings with config files and
// command line options.  Command line options always take precedence.
