This sounds good, indeed :)

Due to this it might be helpful to allow some --db parameter, which
allows to specify a database to use. Worst case would then be to just
make a copy of dt's database before running the cli. Alternatively,
given one has those guys in files exported from the GUI one could
probably read them from the resulting file(s)?
BTW: isn't this yet another good reason to have styles and profiles to
live outside the db in the first place?

IMHO this is a clear vote for having them available. I think those are
also the ones Torsten referred to. At least those were the ones that
came to my mind from Torstens comment.

Agree.

Hope to see it in master soon :)
