It makes sense - especially in the context of the claim, that
$HOME/.fgfsrc on Unix a read more than once as well.
See, as nice as the XML configuration system is, it _must_ bring such
a 'feature' to the developer. In order to figure which command line
paramters you are allowed to use you have first to determine $FG_ROOT.
If $FG_ROOT is defined by the $HOME/.fgfsrc alias 'system.fgfsrc', then
you have to red that file first, look for $FG_ROOT, read the necessary
details and then reread the config file in order to figure which of the
details is being triggered in the config.

There's nothing abnormal with such a procedure. Well, it might be
cleaner to create an array to store the parameters that you read from
the config file and later do multiple reads on this array but the basic
approach is the same,
