Comment (by RushingWookie):

 Thats a great idea. It'll make it much cleaner. Ok so we'll read the
 ServerTransportOptions from fogrc and parse them into the Options field in
 the ServerTransportOptions struct.

 Now I'm not sure if the -n option like pt=b64-1&pt=64-2 etc works very
 well as pt names could have dashes and numbers in them. If we don't use a
 -n or some other duplicate specifier I think we should use the originally
 proposed syntax of "fog-child-n-k=v" as it works for everything. It is
 less readable than but the pt-name-kv options syntax but itll still work
 well.
