In that case, I can do the following:

1. Add a '-c CONFIG' option to rumpbake.
2. Reserve (note in the source) the same '-c CONFIG' option to rumprun, so
that we don't accidentally use it for something else and can be consistent
with rumpbake later.
3. Additionally, search for a rumpbake.conf in some well-defined path, say
$HOME/.config/rumpkernel.org/rumpbake.conf.

Thoughts?
