	Global/specific options are in my plans using the flag entry. But I don't want to
	use a struct to keep the values because we will then need to extend it 
	each time a new option is added :·(. I prefer to use a key/value pair system 
	wich can function independently of the existing options.

	I thaught to this first, but we will need a function for the options handled
	by a function (CONF_TYPE_FUNC*) anyway. So I thaught it's better
	to have an optional reset function. Some option won't need it some will.
	Now a think we can mix the two ways (default value & function). It will 
	avoid writing too much functions that just reset a var or two.
