Hmmm one other option just occurred to me reading this; you might find
using the environment variables (PCP_ARCHIVE, PCP_HOST) provides a way
to inject these values reliably & more simply.  i.e. grab source names
from the config, inject em into appropriate env var (deciding whether
to override env in the process or not, yet another wrinkle) ... it may
become simpler that way, since pmGetOptions handles that internally.

Or it may just get trickier still.  :)  Lemme know commit id if revert
is the way to go here, thanks.

cheers.
