Hi,

But this code does the trick without much extra code:
                std::ifstream is(vm["conf_file"].as<std::string>().c_str());
                po::store(po::parse_config_file(is, desc), vm);

Or is a response file something else? In that case, maybe that should
be mentioned, as I think for lots of users this is enough.
