I thought about another command-line option to specify GLOBAL_TMDARC.

However, I figured that the sysadmin might not want users to be able to do
this.

At present, users can over-ride anything they want in their own TMDARC,
but one could envision a future where GLOBAL_TMDARC can include some
settings that the sysadmin doesn't want to be over-ridden (and also a new
config directive to tell TMDA to enforce this - like Apache's
AllowOverride). With a -g option in tmda-filter, one could bypass this.

P.S. Suffering from lack of thought/sleep when I sent the original to the
wrong list!
