Oh, sorry, I was reading the wrong part of the man page.

It looks like you *can* specify which config file to check, but in a
different way:

  configure check ["config file"]

    Read and parse given config file, but do not use it. useful for
    checking syntactic and some semantic validity of an config file.

So you'd want something like "configure check ${CONF_FILE}" I guess.
That way if you ever have two instances of bird running, reloading the
second instance won't check the config file for the first instance.

And "-r" was a good idea.
