guestfwd entries are relatively long, so having them on one line is 
slightly annonying.  I'd tend to have them on separate lines.  But maybe 
it isn't a bad idea to extend the config file syntax to allow being more 
explicit here, like this (borrowed from makefile syntax):

   option := value       assign, overriding any existing value(s)
   option += value       append

Maybe also

   option ?= value       set only in case it isn't set yet.

cheers,
   Gerd
