Good questions.  At present (very crude first efforts) it lengthens
core.exe by a few K and the hit in free memory (that's far more important)
is about 1K, however, that's on top of a 4K hit that seems to have
resulted from the pre-parsing of all options -- which is necessary for
this config.log thing to work anyway.  Whether if ever ends up as
standard equipment is questionable, but Michal and I are seriously
considering the idea that there should be a special DEBUG version of
the core that folks could use in place of the standard version for
industrial strenth diagnostic purposes; it would have less free memory 
but other than that it would work exactly the same (apart from the 
diagnostics that it would perform of course).

Anyway, I've already found it invaluable since it makes it childs play
to diagnose anything that's gone wrong with configuration.
