Upstream and openbsd's version aren't that different beyond the configuration file. There are just more features upstream (OCSP, etc.), but nothing fundamental. I'll be pulling in the downstream config file, as already acme-client has a ridiculous number of flags. There are a few patches for user credentials I'm sitting on because I just don't want to add flags. As for [-t], I reckon I'll just have a config entry of challenge type and the program to execute. This'll then be invoked as a subprocess in the same way as currently documented. This will require more work, but nothing crazy.
