Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Boost.Program_options only handle 
the reading part and not the writing part?  I don't know it that well, 
but can you modify options and save it to a file using 
Boost.Program_options?

But yes, it can at least handle the reading part, which is already half 
the work.  :-)
