Environment variables in tinc.conf?

Hi,

even with only five nodes one looses track of changed configs and host
files after adding/removing a node or changing the config (e.g. ConnectTo).
It would be great if one can just copy a default tinc.conf to all nodes.
Show-stoppers are the ConnectTo- and Name-options. ConnectTo is be replaced
by Autoconnect, but one still needs to set the Name of a node. Using
environment variables in tinc.conf like $HOSTNAME would simplify matters.

Is it possible to use environment variables in tinc.conf? If not, this is a
feature request to enable enviroment variables in tinc.conf or add a flag
"HOST" to the Name option (Name = HOST) which resolves the hostname as node
name.

Thanx

Renne
