Ok - this could also be useful for others too. main(...) now takes a 
config parameter. This can be the location of a config file and it will 
be loaded in *addition* to the standard config files.

Note that config files can have an 'excluded-plugins' section if you 
want to disable the loading of any unittest2 plugins... :-)
