This is a resubmit of a previous series I sent as a RFC, with some changes to

This series needs be applied on top of the "./configure --confdir" series I
sent today.
Why not just use /dev/fd/N ?
Personally, I don't like filenames with special meanings (as not every
OS has /dev/fd we would have to treat them specially), or filenames that
become non-extensible mini-languages by themselves. Many other
command-line options use the key=value syntax, and some already have an
"fd" option, so this just follows the convention.
