Great!
Unfortunately, it didn't link properly, so I send you a pull request to
correct the Boost_LOCALE dependency.
https://github.com/jlHertel/adriconf/pull/1
Then it crashed with std::bas_alloc that also printed a Python (?!)
ValueError (opened an issue for that):
https://github.com/jlHertel/adriconf/issues/2
Because of this I could not really test the application. I'll see
whether I can find the culprit later.

Makes sense.

I don't think that is such a good idea, what happens if someone wants
to try out options to compare to the defaults? The application
shouldn't get removed automatically when the user sets all to default.

If the OS provides a propper packaging system having one dependency
more should not be a problem.
I'll take a look at the code itself later.
Best,
Gert
