Which means that we'd have to manage a temporary file internally. Well,
we can do without it, at the cost of some complexity in the script.

What would be the use-case that would prevent on to do:

    $ printf "Bla\nBle\n" >foo.cfg
    $ ./support/scripts/test-pkg -p busybox -c foo.cfg
    $ rm foo.cfg

instead?

But yes, that's doable. Lt's just post-pone that "enhancement" for
later...

Yann E. MORIN.
