Summary: Possibility to specify settings on the cmd line

Initial Comment:
On my dad's PC I was setting up some desktop shortcuts,
so he could run some MSX games directly (using openMSX).
(Actually, similar to what David is doing for the cd...)
It's probably something many people may do.

Since my dad's PC isn't very fast, I wanted to set the
settings as low as possible, to get the highest number
of FPS. This means that for Rollerball, e.g. I can use
screen accuracy, and maybe SDLLo. But I can't do that
for Space Manbow.

However, when making these 'shortcuts', I can only use
the commandline.

There's no way to set this up now. For this it should
be possible to have a bunch of settings in an XML file
that belongs to that game... This file could be passed
to openMSX via the commandline. The file just contains
some console commands that get executed right after
starting openMSX, and thus overriding all other settings.
